Description

When you merge/partition lots of flowfiles, the resulting flowfile filename may be the same for some of them, so before you send it to a filesystem like hdfs you have to use an UpdateAttribute processor just before the putORC so it wont fail because of a previous file existing with the same name.

Please consider adding a property in Put* processors so you can alter the filename, using expression lenguage like ${UUID()}, and use 1 less processor in flows.
