This will need to be implemented and/or verified for all four possible provenance repository implementations, where nifi.provenance.repository.implementation is set to:

org.apache.nifi.provenance.WriteAheadProvenanceRepository,
org.apache.nifi.provenance.EncryptedWriteAheadProvenanceRepository,
org.apache.nifi.provenance.PersistentProvenanceRepository,
org.apache.nifi.provenance.VolatileProvenanceRepository

> A feature that some NiFi administrators would find useful is doing an inverse search on provenance.
> So for example, instead of just being able to search on provenance to find provenance with Event Type of SEND
> we also have the option of finding all provenance that does NOT have Event Type of SEND.
> The underlying apache lucene already supports Boolean queries.  
> Actually, NiFi is already doing a Boolean query. 
> But now instead of doing an Occur.MUST, NiFi will also be able to do an Occur.MUST_NOT [1]
> There will be a GUI change as well, (see attached snapshot/picture) as there will be a "NOT" column header at the far right of the Provenance's Search Events pop up, with checkboxes underneath it (i.e. a checkbox to the right of each fieldname/value that a user can query provenance events for).    If the checkbox is checked, then the user is indicating to do an inverse query for the value entered.
