Manish,

You could use ExecuteScript with Groovy and the following:

def flowFile = session.get()
if(!flowFile) return
flowFile = session.penalize(flowFile)
session.transfer(flowFile, REL_SUCCESS)

Then you can route "success" back to the processor. You'd set the
Penalty Duration on the ExecuteScript processor configuration
(Settings tab).

Regards,
Matt
