[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-3560) Add support for ListFTP/FetchFTP to scan/pull from multiple sources at once

["Joseph Witt (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3560?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15899588#comment-15899588 ] 

Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-3560:
-----------------------------------

I have narrowed the scope of the JIRA subject to the statement/description.

You are either updating a single processor configuration or you're updating multiple processor configurations.  This can either be done manually by a user or through REST API calls.  The real problem with this idea is that what is left unaccounted is how the system should behave for the varying rates of data receipt on different systems, lifecycle implications for the processors, and what to do about important elements like login credentials.

> Current Implementation of List processor is such that they can be run in a loop. 
> Example Use case:- If we need to monitor 100 FTP servers, we have to create 100 ListFTP processor rather having one ListFTP processor which can get required fields as input and loop it.
