Distributes FlowFiles to downstream processors based on a Distribution Strategy. If using the Round Robin strategy, the default is to assign each destination a weighting of 1 (evenly distributed). However, optional propertiescan be added to the change this; adding a property with the name '5' and value '10' means that the relationship with name '5' will be receive 10 FlowFiles in each iteration instead of 1.

In the list below, the names of required properties appear in bold. Any other properties (not in bold) are considered optional. The table also indicates any default values, whether a property supports the NiFi Expression Language, and whether a property is considered "sensitive", meaning that its value will be encrypted. Before entering a value in a sensitive property, ensure that the nifi.properties file has an entry for the property nifi.sensitive.props.key.
| Name | Default Value | Valid Values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Relationships | 1 | Determines the number of Relationships to which the load should be distributed | |
| Distribution Strategy | round robin |
| Determines how the load will be distributed. If using Round Robin, will not distribute any FlowFiles unless all destinations can accept FlowFiles; when using Next Available, will distribute FlowFiles as long as at least 1 destination can accept FlowFiles. |
