Description

Currently XMLRecordSetWriter doesn't allow an output to omit XML declaration like how EvaluateXQuery provides. This improvement will be extremely helpful for downstream processors which handle splitting/merging of multiple flowfiles from many data-sources. Existing workaround is to use ReplaceText processor with First-Line as Line-by-Line-Evaluation-Mode to omit <?xml version="1.0" ?>. Enabling this option will avoid using extra ReplaceText.
