[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-8962) Create DivertLoad processor

["Joe Witt (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-8962?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17390632#comment-17390632 ] 

Joe Witt commented on NIFI-8962:
--------------------------------

The described behavior should be able to be added to the already existing 'DistributeLoad' processor.  It looks like simply adding a 'divert' or 'overflow' strategy would be an option.  Users could specify how many relationships they want and you'd simply send data to rel1 until full, then rel2, then rel3, etc.. as described.  We should try very hard not to make a new processor here.

> Create a new processor, DivertLoad. This processor will send FlowFiles to the primary relationship as long as it is available (i.e. back pressure is not preventing FlowFiles from being sent to this relationship.) If the primary relationship is unavailable, FlowFiles will be sent to an alternate overflow relationship.
> This processor will allow specialized or alternate processing to occur by the flow if a given connection has reached its back pressure limit.
