Description

If a Processor has to perform some expensive operation before processing a FlowFile (obtain a connection to a remote system, for instance) it can should be able to process for the full duration of the Run Duration without returning for the sake of efficiency (by not releasing the resources until the Rn Duration ends). I.e., give the developer the ability (but not require them) to handle the run duration themselves when it makes sense.
