Uses Attributes:

Attribute Name Description
fragment.identifier Applicable only if the <Merge Strategy> property is set to Defragment. All FlowFiles with the same value for this attribute will be bundled together.
fragment.index Applicable only if the <Merge Strategy> property is set to Defragment. This attribute must be present on all FlowFiles with the same value for the fragment.identifier attribute and must be a unique integer between 0 and the value of the fragment.count attribute. This attribute indicates the order in which the fragments should be assembled.
fragment.count Applicable only if the <Merge Strategy> property is set to Defragment. This attribute must be present on all FlowFiles with the same value for the fragment.identifier attribute. All FlowFiles in the same bundle must have the same value for this attribute. The value of this attribute indicates how many FlowFiles should be expected in the given bundle.
segment.original.filename Applicable only if the <Merge Strategy> property is set to Defragment. This attribute must be present on all FlowFiles with the same value for the fragment.identifier attribute. All FlowFiles in the same bundle must have the same value for this attribute. The value of this attribute will be used for the filename of the completed merged FlowFile.
tar.permissions Applicable only if the <Merge Format> property is set to TAR. The value of this attribute must be 3 characters; each character must be in the range 0 to 7 (inclusive) and indicates the file permissions that should be used for the FlowFile's TAR entry. If this attribute is missing or has an invalid value, the default value of 644 will be used.

Modifies Attributes:

Attribute Name Description
filename When more than 1 file is merged, the filename comes from the segment.original.filename attribute. If that attribute does not exist in the source FlowFiles, then the filename is set to the number of nanoseconds matching system time. Then a filename extension may be applied:
  • if Merge Format is TAR, then the filename will be appended with .tar
  • if Merge Format is ZIP, then the filename will be appended with .zip
  • if Merge Format is FlowFileStream, then the filename will be appended with .pkg
merge.count The number of FlowFiles that were merged into this bundle.
merge.bin.age The age of the bin, in milliseconds, when it was merged and output. Effectively this is the greatest amount of time that any FlowFile in this bundle remained waiting in this processor before it was output.
