The real var name was aimuploaddir and the error was aimduploaddir. Think I
have a work around to prevent the tragedy was wiping out Nifi. I did this:
${aimuploaddir:replaceEmpty('xxxxxxxxXXXXXXXX')}

What was the real dir name vs the erroneous name? What might happens depends
on many factors such as os behaviors.

I ran into kind of a weird issue with the ListFile processor. I was
referencing a variable for my input directory and had enter the variable name
incorrectly.
So I assumed that the with my incorrect variable name the value of the Input
Directory would be null or an empty string.
When I started the InputFile it started listing all the files inside of my Nifi
install directory. Things got bad when the my FetchFile started to delete
them.
I'm on 1.9.1 but I was wondering if this was the normal behavior or some kind
of bug.
If anyone has seen this behavior and has some kind of viable workaround please
let me know.
