Description

In nifi.properties, the indexed/searchable fields in provenance events can be configured. Fields that are not indexed will not be searchable in provenance queries. The description states the available fields are

# EventType, FlowFileUUID, Filename, TransitURI, ProcessorID, AlternateIdentifierURI, Relationship, Details

However, when configured with

org.apache.nifi.provenance.WriteAheadProvenanceRepository

an additional field (EventTime) is included in the searchable fields in the UI but is not configured in nifi.properties.
