             Summary: Allow user to choose whether or not to add File Attributes as FlowFile Attributes when using FetchFile
                 Key: NIFI-5228
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5228
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Extensions
            Reporter: Mark Payne
            Assignee: Mark Payne


The FetchFile processor adds several FlowFIle attributes such as the file's owner, last accessed time, creation time, etc. While these certainly can be useful pieces of information and do serve a purpose, they can be expensive to determine in some configurations. In my use case, I have an Azure File Store mounted to an Ubuntu system with CIFS using SMB 3.0. The remote directory that I am listing has 7,000-8,000 files and takes about 3 minutes to perform the listing with ListFile.
