@joewitt Originally I was going to write a processor that looked at how
long files had been queued and only moved them forward after the appropriate
time had elapsed, a true Delay processor. But when I found this existing JIRA
ticket, and since two other developers had discussed it quite a bit, I went
with building a Penalize processor.
The use case is absolutely causing a delay in the Flow. Would you prefer I
go back to something more like my original approach and only let FlowFile's
through based on their Queued times? This way would be more configurable, and
we could use an optional attribute/EL to decide how long they should be forced
to delay.
