Uwe Geercken commented on NIFI-3608: ------------------------------------ Unfortunately not. If there is a header row, that is fine, I just don't think it should be populated to all flow files. It's an overhead in the following processors. I would recommend to at least make it configurable. > SplitText should be configurable if header row is put in all splits > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-3608 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3608 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Extensions > Affects Versions: 1.1.1 > Environment: Fedora 25 > Reporter: Uwe Geercken > > The documentation for the SplitText processor states: > "The number of lines that should be considered part of the header; the header > lines will be duplicated to all split files" > There should be an option to turn off this behavior and to not output the > header row to each split file. > When processing the splits further then the header row has to be handled in > each processor that follows which is unnecessary overhead. > As an alternative one could think of assigning the details of the header row > to the flow file attributes -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
