Description

Current Situation

ListHDFS is designed to be (only) the entry point of a data integration pipeline, and therefore can only be triggered on a cron or time base.

Improvement Proposal

ListHDFS should be able to be used as part of your pipeline even if you do not expect to have it as the entry point. To obtain it:

• It has to be triggerable
• Trigger flowfile should be able to bring the listing directory as an attribute
