Hello,

I would like to use the existing ScrollElasticsearchHttp to perform a search 
that returns a potentially large number of hits. The parameters of the search 
need to reference one or more flow file attributes.

Looking at the source code for this processor it appears that the QUERY 
property supports EL with flow file attributes. Furthermore, the documentation 
for the FAILURE relationship notes that only incoming flow files will be routed 
to failure. So it seems clear that this processor was designed to allow input 
flow files. Unfortunately though, the processor also has been annotated with 
INPUT_FORBIDDEN so I can’t use as is.

I assume that there is a good reason for forbidding input here. Before I go and 
try to implement a custom processor that does what I want, I’d like to know if 
some hidden problem awaits me.

Can someone clarify why this processor forbids input, and what problems I might 
expect if I try to circumvent this limitation?

Thanks

- Tim
