[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-8755) Create same file in multiple directories using PutFile

["Mike Thomsen (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-8755?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17509288#comment-17509288 ] 

Mike Thomsen commented on NIFI-8755:
------------------------------------

I think you can accomplish this with EL, DuplicateFlowfile and UpdateAttribute. DuplicateFlowfile provides a copy.index attibute, and you can use UpdateAttribute to execute a large EL statement that sets a path variable based on the copy.index value. So if you need 5 copies, just have DuplicateFlowfile copy the file 4 times and you'll have the original + 4 copies each with copy.index on them.

> It would be nice to provide an ability to store the incoming flowfile in multiple directories (Paths separated by a demarcator, which can be included as a property).
> When we need to store the same copy in different directories, the above setup will help to avoid usage of that many number of PutFile processors.
