Description

I have the use case where I have two separate NiFi clusters reading data from the same topics but need to have unique group ids so they each get separate copies of the data.  It would be useful if the group id field supported expression language so I could use a processor group variable to define the group id to use.  I have a large enough number of kafka consumers to make this tedious to manually change.
