The feature requires NiFi > 1.8.x… Pierre describes it very well in his blog :

Subject: Re: DistributeLoad across a NiFi cluster

Andrew, when I right click on the connection between the two I do not see a 
cluster distribution strategy in the queue connection. I am running 1.7.1.g. Am 
I overlooking something?

Jim,

There's a better solution in NiFi. Right click on the connection between 
ListFile and FetchFile and select a cluster distribution strategy in options. 
That's it :)

We would like to employ a DistributeLoad processor, restricted to run on the 
primary node of our cluster. Is there a recommended approach employed to 
efficiently distribute across nodes in the cluster?

As I understand it, and using a FetchFile running in "all nodes" as the first 
processor following the DistributeLoad, I can have it distribute by round 
robin, next available, or load distribution service.  Can anyone provide a link 
to an example that employs the load distribution service? Is that the 
recommended distribution approach when running in clustered mode?

I am interested in maintaining load balance across my cluster nodes when 
running at high flowfile volumes. Flow files will vary greatly in contents, so 
I'd like to design with an approach that helps me balance processing 
distribution.

Thanks very much in advance. -Jim
