Github user joewitt commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/458 The name isn't great but not sure what would be better. It is indeed a debugger for the framework and less so for a flow. It is perhaps good to call it 'CreateChaos'. That said i personally think this is a great idea to have in the build and part of the standard processors. It would only be used by power users or curious types. And for everyone else it is a noop. But it could make it easier for us to demonstrate the evil effects of constant exceptions in a flow and do interesting regression checks on various infrastructures. There is admittedly probably a better place for this but with the upcoming nar registry work we can tackle that then.
