[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-1205) Allow GetFile's "File Filter" property to support expression language

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

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1205?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15015078#comment-15015078 ] 

Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-1205:
-----------------------------------

Randy i think the pattern you seek will be better handled when ListFile and FetchFile are ready to roll.  Work for them is underway here  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-631

Take a look and if you agree we can close this ticket out.

Thanks
Joe

> GetFile is useful as a scheduled processor, but currently assumes foreknowledge of which files the user desires to match.
> There may be external signals, e.g. a process crash, that users desire to trigger GetFile to pickup and do work on artifacts specific to the trigger.
> Adding expression language support for the File Filter property would allow incoming flowfiles to point the processor at different files of interest.
