             Summary: Enhance documentation for provenance event type definitions
                 Key: NIFI-3392
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3392
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Documentation & Website
    Affects Versions: 1.1.1
            Reporter: Andy LoPresto


The provenance events can be unfamiliar to new users, and the nuance of the event types can be confusing even to experienced users and developers. The documentation should be improved to contain a definition table of the various event types ({{CREATE}}, {{DROP}}, etc.), their meaning, and (for developers) when to use each type if writing their own provenance reporting code. 

A comprehensive list of event types is available (and discussed somewhat) in [{{ProvenanceEventType.java}}|https://github.com/apache/nifi/blob/master/nifi-api/src/main/java/org/apache/nifi/provenance/ProvenanceEventType.java].
