Description
Currently, the ExecuteProcess and ExecuteStreamCommand processors can only consume and produce new flow files. Although they can access attributes attached to the flow files through the use of environment variables, they have no way to update or attach new attributes.
I think it could be really useful if there was a generic way for us to attach flow file attributes using these two processors. Since environment variables created or updated by a flow file are only visible to the executing process, we'll unfortunately not be able to utilize it.
The purpose of this JIRA is to provide a forum for how we could potentially solve this.
