    Agree, this is just adding configuration complexity for very little (none) 
benefit. I just pushed a commit to remove this parameter.

> With the apparition of Wait/Notify processors it is now possible tackle new 
> challenges when it comes to synchronize the execution of different parts of 
> the workflow.
> The objective here is the following:
> Flow files are sent to a MergeContent processor. Merged flow files are then 
> sent to a processor A while original flow files are sent to a processor B. I 
> want to trigger processor B when and only when processor A has completed.
> To use the Wait/Notify approach, a common attribute must be available to be 
> used as a signal in the distributed cache. This JIRA is about adding a 
> processor property allowing a user to add the UUID of the merged flow file as 
> a new attribute of all the original flow files that are constituting the 
> merged flow file.
> The template attached to NIFI-4028 can be used for this use case. Note that 
> the fix for NIFI-4028 is needed to solve the use case described in this JIRA.
