Mark Ward commented on NIFI-15501:
----------------------------------
[~dstiegli1], indeed I have.
Here's my MRE/test flow:
!image-2026-01-26-20-40-08-255.png|width=396,height=302!
GenerateFlowFile outputting a mock-csv with appropriate non-compressed mime
type:
!image-2026-01-26-20-40-44-013.png|width=600,height=510!
ModifyCompression:
!image-2026-01-26-20-41-07-076.png|width=565,height=234!
In this case the FlowFile is routed to Failure. No bulletin/error is raised,
which as an aside is the usual behaviour when a FlowFile is routed to a failure
queue.
The CompressContent did behave this way, instead it routes the FlowFile to the
success queue (which to be fair might not be what another user would may want -
perhaps they would prefer it to fail if the non-compressed file is processed).
It's also worth noting the CompressContent mentions this beviour in it's
description but I don't see the same mentioned in ModifyComptess - apologies if
I've missed it.
Hope this helps.

> ModifyCompression replaces the deprecated (as of 2,6.0) CompressContent.
> CompressContent had a useful feature, the documentation explains:
> {quote}A common idiom is to precede CompressContent with IdentifyMimeType and
> configure Mode='decompress' AND Compression Format='use mime.type attribute'.
> When used in this manner, the MIME type is automatically detected and the
> data is decompressed, if necessary. If decompression is unnecessary, the data
> is passed through to the 'success' relationship.
> {quote}
> In contrast, ModifyCompression does not behave this way, instead routing
> FlowFiles to the failure relationship (note this does not raise an
> error/bulletin).
> Can the ModifyCompression be modified to optionally include similar
> behaviour. Perhaps routing files to a separate queue if user transparency is
> is of high importance.
