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

Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-1045:
-----------------------------------

[~puspendu.banerjee@gmail.com] For the most recent case you mention that is what the 'replace' option is for.  I reviewed the PR again and in my view the use cases you've outline are well served now by using PutHDFS w/FAILURE and UpdateAttribute to rename on failures or PutHDFS with replace.  If you agree this will address the needs please advise and PR230 and JIRA NIFI-1045 can be marked as addressed by flow configuration.

> It would be great if we could add a "backup suffix" conflict resolution strategy to when saving files to FS/HDFS. This would act in a similar way to rsync's  {{--backup --suffix}}
> The suffix could support Language expression (similar to using {{--suffix=`date +"%F"`}} on rsync)
