Description

Add a FAQ / walkthrough document that shows how to use NiFi to remove data for compliance reasons.

For example, if your NiFi instance is not allowed to have PII in it and you discover that a particular flow mistakenly received records that did not have the PII fields of some records removed, walk through

• stop continued propagation of the tainted data
• track what parts of NiFi were exposed to the tainted data
• track what downstream systems the tainted data was delivered to
• remove the tainted data from NiFi's internal repositories
• show that the tainted data was so removed
