Sivaprasanna Sethuraman commented on NIFI-5152:
-----------------------------------------------

I saw the related question on Stackoverflow. Should this really be `INPUT_REQUIRED`? I mean in some cases people might have situation where they can use MoveHDFS to do a periodic archive from a static path where they can simply go on using MoveHDFS without an upstream processor. I mean even after making it INPUT_REQUIRED we can use something like GenerateFlowfile to do it.. but I'm just asking out of curiosity.

> The onTrigger method of MoveHDFS will return when no incoming flow file is obtained, therefore the processor can only be used with an incoming relationships and should have the INPUT_REQUIRED annotation.
> If the expected behavior was to use the processor without an incoming relationship, then instead of requiring input, the code needs to be updated to handle both scenarios.
