[jira] [Created] (NIFI-1018) Allow ControllerServices access to ProvenanceReporter

Brandon DeVries created NIFI-1018:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow ControllerServices access to ProvenanceReporter
                 Key: NIFI-1018
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1018
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Brandon DeVries


Currently we maintain a provenance trail for all files flowing through NiFi Processors.  However, if a ControllerService uses some data set it generally just loads it from disk after it is fetched using a normal NiFi flow.  However, this breaks the provenance trail for the data set... there is no way (in provenance terms) of knowing what data set the ControllerService is using or when it was loaded.  By giving ControllerServices access to the ProvenanceReporter, they can acknowledge "receipt" of a data set, so the provenance trail from pull to use is maintained.
