>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7643
>             Project: Apache NiFi
>          Issue Type: Bug
>            Reporter: Tamás Bunth
>            Priority: Minor
>             Fix For: 2.0.0

> Steps to reproduce:
>  # Create a tar or zip file with some arbitrary content in its root. The bug occurs only when using these two formats.
>  # Create a flow: GetFile -> UnpackContent -> LogAttribute.
>  # Set GetFile to fetch the compressed test file from the file system. Set UnpackContent to use the appropriate format.
> Unpackcontent writes an attribute "file.absolutePath" which is currently the relative path of the unpacked content concatenated with the current working directory (where Nifi has been run).
> E.g. if I unpacked a file with relative path "egg/ham.txt" and I run Nifi from "/usr/bin", "file.absolutePath" would be "/usr/bin/egg/ham.txt".
> In my opinion, "absolute path" does not make much sense in this context. I suggest removing it.
