Andrew Christianson commented on MINIFICPP-39:
----------------------------------------------
[~calebj], it looks like we currently don't have that facility in the cpp unit
test framework. So for now, the main options are to use the putfile, and verify
the output after it's written to disk, or to use the docker system integration
test framework. The docs on the docker system integration test framework are at
https://github.com/apache/nifi-minifi-cpp/blob/master/docker/test/integration/README.md.
To do this, you'd have to add support for these processors (simple python
classes), then create a custom OutputValidator (look at the
SingleFileOutputValidator for an example).

> 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)
