Description

Currently a Processor has no way of determining whether or not a Relationship is auto-terminated. There are cases where a Processor forks an incoming FlowFile and updates it (in a potentially expensive manner) and then transfers it to a Relationship that is auto-terminated.

We should add the ability to determine whether or not a given relationship is auto-terminated so that we can be more efficient
