Good afternoon. I have a python script I will execute from an ExecuteScript processor. This script applies complex filtering logic to select certain files from a recursive directory structure. In my filtering loop, I will have the fully qualified path and the filename. The fq path I intend to use as absolute.path attribute in a flowFile, and the filename I intend to use as filename attribute. My flowFiles will be passed from ExecuteScript to a FetchFile processor.
My question is this: how do I integrate the flowFile creation into my python script, creating an empty flowFile and setting the attributes at that point where I have the qualified file and metadata in my loop? I won't really have an input stream - I'll work through my loop until certain conditions trigger a break. As I find qualified files, I'll create a flowFile with no payload but with attributes that FetchFile requires to bring the file into my workflow. Thank you. -Jim
