             Summary: Unpackcontent writing absolute path property does not make sense
                 Key: NIFI-7643
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7643
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Tamás Bunth


Steps to reproduce:
 * Create a tar or zip file with some arbitrary content in its root. The bug occurs only when using these two formats.
 * Create a flow: GetFile -> UnpackContent -> LogAttribute.
 * Set GetFile to fetch the compressed test file from the file system. Set UnpackContent to use the appropriate format.

Unpackcontent writes an attribute "file.absolutePath" which is currently the relative path of the unpacked content concatenated with the current working directory (where Nifi has been run).

E.g. if I unpacked a file with relative path "egg/ham.txt" and I run Nifi from "/usr/bin", "file.absolutePath" would be "/usr/bin/egg/ham.txt".

In my opinion, "absolute path" does not make much sense in this context. I suggest removing it.
