Description

When a relationship becomes unavailable, it can be useful to route incoming Flowfiles to an alternative relationship. As soon as the primary relationship is available, Flowfiles will be routed to that relationship.

One scenario is when you want the most recent data to be sent to a relationship, but if when that relationship is not available, the incoming data is sent to an alternative relationship to be stored on disk until it can be processed.
