             Summary: Create a Reporting Task to Send Provenance data
                 Key: MINIFI-13
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFI-13
             Project: Apache NiFi MiNiFi
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Joseph Percivall
            Assignee: Joseph Percivall


With initial effort to re-use as much of NiFi as possible it is not possible to easily create a ProvenanceReporter to add provenance events as attributes to FlowFiles as it would require changing the ProvenancenReporter interface. This will require utilizing a different extension point to transmit the provenance data back to a core NiFi instance. 

Probably the most efficient way to do this is to create a ReportingTask which reports the provenance events using the S2S protocol. 

In the future this will probably be retired as a reporting task as MiNiFi grows to rely less on NiFi but this Reporting task could also be contributed back to NiFi.
