             Summary: Append source.hostname attribute to FlowFiles sent via Site2Site
                 Key: MINIFI-119
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFI-119
             Project: Apache NiFi MiNiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: C++, Core Framework
            Reporter: Randy Gelhausen


NiFi data consumers commonly need to know the original source (hostname) of flowfiles.

NiFi collectors may create a unique input port per Site2Site client, but this in unmanageable with more than a trivial number of clients.

Clients can manually inject source metadata as part of their flow definitions, but this is a burden that can be automated given that hostname is standard metadata. The Site2Site protocol implementation should automatically inject local hostname into FlowFiles.
