Processor (Apache NiFi)

Apache NiFi's Processor is a core component that performs specific tasks within a data flow workflow. Think of it as a specialized worker that processes, transforms, or routes data based on predefined rules. Processors can read data from sources, modify or analyze it, and then send it to different destinations. They are configurable and can be chained together, enabling the creation of complex data pipelines. In essence, processors automate and manage the movement and processing of data efficiently, ensuring that information gets where it needs to go in a controlled and reliable manner.
