    You are correct, the provenance trail is there, however, generally it seems 
like the Split* processors tend to add the split source information as well in 
the shape of 
    
    > `segment.original.filename        The filename of the parent FlowFile`
    
    The behaviour is also documented 
[here](https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/developer-guide.html#split-content-one-to-many):

    For example, assuming I use the processors to perform data archival, having 
the parent.uuid as an attribute would allow me to draw a direct and accessible 
relationship between the two flowfiles.
    
    Maybe I am overcomplicating but I simply couldn't find a documented way of 
accessing the provenance parent UUID from the Expression Language.
