Description

There are different Provenance Event Type already, CREATE, SEND or RECEIVE ... etc. However, none of them can well describe activities such as deleting objects from external storage, or calling 3rd party APIs to do something.

This JIRA proposes that NiFi to have additional 'REMOTE_INVOCATION' provenance event type to represent operations described above. By looking at 'REMOTE_INVOCATION' event type, processor type and its transit URL, users/other programs can understand what operation has been made.
