Description

A co-worker (new to NiFi) spent a lot of time on this one.

Namely he was using *.zip a fileFilter in the UnpackContent processor.

The docs in fact say

> Only files whose names match the given regular expression will be extracted (tar/zip only)

And it's not clear if it the flow file filename attribute of the file contained in the archive.

As this is trivial, I think it should be included.
