----------------------------------------------
[~calebj],
Sorry for the delay --I've been out with a brand new baby.
I do not have any WIP unit tests for this, but I would be happy to answer any
questions about the code. There is a workable unit test framework in minifi-cpp
now. I would take a look at PutFileTests for an example processor unit test.

> Create an FocusArchive processor which implements a lens over an archive
> (tar, etc.). A concise, though informal, definition of a lens is as follows:
> "Essentially, they represent the act of “peering into” or “focusing in on”
> some particular piece/path of a complex data object such that you can more
> precisely target particular operations without losing the context or
> structure of the overall data you’re working with."

> Why an FocusArchive in MiNiFi? Simply put, it will enable us to "focus in on"
> an entry in the archive, perform processing *in-context* of that entry, then
> re-focus on the overall archive. This allows for transformation or other
> processing of an entry in the archive without losing the overall context of
> the archive.
> Initial format support is tar, due to its simplicity and ubiquity.
> Attributes:
> - Path (the path in the archive to focus; "/" to re-focus the overall archive)
