> I was looking to do some batch processing with the list processor (didn't
> have a better option :() Per NiFi documentation I was looking to set the
> Record Writer using Avro Writer so that I could get a complete listing in a
> single flow file.

> I didn't see any indication in the documentation that anything other than
> associating a record writer would determine if a single or multiple flow was
> generated. !image-2021-04-13-14-35-50-488.png|width=666,height=408!
>
> *Use Case*
> I wanted to get a complete listing, if it didn't include a file (file we've
> specified as a trigger for completion of batch) I would drop the entire flow.
> If it did include the file I was waiting for i'd split out the list of files
> and fetch all of them.
> If tracking is used then the future flows don't contain the entire list and
> this requires me to maintain the listing of files that will need to be picked
> up. So if no tracking was an option it would work in a simpler fashion.
