Description

MergeContent collects a certain size of data or number of events prior to emitting a merged flowfile. This works well for rapid ingestion, as usually downstream consumers see merged FlowFiles with acceptable latency.

However, some ingest rates are spiky, or infrequent, greatly increasing the latency a downstream consumer sees. Adding a time-based merge window would be very useful.
