> In expression language it would be very useful to hash arbitrary data or attributes from the incoming flow file. For example, if the incoming flow file has an attribute called 'serial_num', the user can hash this value in expression language like `${hash('MD5', 'serial_num')}` or similar syntax.
>
> Today users need to add a CryptographicHashAttribute processor to accomplish this.
