This task(NIFI-470) suits to some of the workflow. If I set concurrent task to 10, records runs in parallel so that each file gets shuffled as I can see in the List Queue.
If we get order of files from the Getfile, How I can ensure the data from each file is properly moved to destination(consider SQL) in same order with respect to concurrent task also? I need flow like this: Consider file1 has 10 records and it should be priortized from the value 1 to 10, then next file2 records should start with the priority value 11 to so on.. Filename can be in the order of the date from the getfile processor. Here I can ensure each ordered files are moved in the same order into SQL. Will this be achieved in the ticket or any suggestion for this?
