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.

Properties:
In the list below, the names of required properties appear in bold. Anyother properties (not in bold) are considered optional. The table also indicates any default values, whether a property supports the NiFi Expression Language (or simply EL), 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.

| Number of Relationships | Determines the number of Relationships to which the load should be distributed | 1 | No | No | |
| Distribution Strategy | 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. | round robin |
