I agree that the FlowFile Repository only has part of the information as well, so an end-to-end solution would require some intermediate layer for sending some metadata elsewhere while maintaining the existing persistence requirements. Taking another look at the options, the `StandardProcessSession` already has access to both transfer relationships and provenance records. At minimum, any changes should not require public-facing `ProvenanceReporter` changes because the `StandardProcessSession` could populate relationship information on provenance records. More evaluation would be required in that direction, but it highlights the importance of scoping any changes as narrowly as possible when it comes to the `nifi-api` interfaces. It might still be necessary to adjust the `ProvenanceEventRecord` definition with this type of approach, but it should not require changing the `ProvenanceEventReporter` and thus all referencing Processors. With this background, it may be best to continue to the discussion on the Jira issue to iron out a general path forward, or providing another different with an alternative solution. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
