-----------------------------------

It doesn't appear that the code was merge. Is this still needed?

> 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.
