             Summary: Add a No tracking Strategy to ListFile/ListFTP
                 Key: NIFI-7263
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7263
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Extensions
            Reporter: Jens M Kofoed


The Listfile/ListFTP has 2 Listing Strategies: Tracking Timestamps and Tracking Entities.

It would be very very nice if the List process also could have a No Tracking (fix it your self) strategy

If running NIFI in a cluster the List/Fetch is the perfect solution instead of using a GetFile. But we have had many caces where files in the pickup folder has old timestamps, so here we have to use Tracking Entities.
The issue is in cases where you are not allowed to delete files but you have to make a change to the file filter. The tracking entities start all over, and list all files again.

In other situations we need to resent all data, and would like to clear the state of the Tracking Entities. But you can't.

So I have to make a small flow for detecting duplicates. And in some cases just ignore duplicates and in other caces open up for sending duplicates. But it is a pain in the ... to use the Tracking Entities.

So a NO STRATEGY would be very very nice
