In the case of a GetFile processor it is managed by a single node since the file being picked up is on the local filesystem of one of the nodes.
There are other approaches to parallelize work... If you had a shared network location you can use ListFile + FetchFile in a certain way so that one node does the listing, and then all nodes do fetching. The same can be done for ListHDFS + FetchHDFS, and some other List + Fetch processors.
