Description

The WriteAheadProvenanceRepository was written several releases ago in order to replace the PersistentProvenanceRepository. The PersistentProvenanceRepository remained the default in nifi.properties to ensure that the WriteAheadProvenanceRepository was stable enough before jumping right in. Time has shown that the WriteAheadProvenanceRepository is not only far faster than the old implementation but that it is also more stable. We should update the default now to the WriteAheadProvenanceRepository.
