trigger GetFile in nifi

[#1]

Hi,

I having a nifi job which using a getFile to read a hive script into a flowfile and execute it in PutHIVEQL processor

I would like my flow to be triggered by something outside nifi

My thought was to put a listFile before the getFile processor and activate the flow with i little script touching a file in then listFile folder that would also prevent it to run more than once at a time.

But Getfile has no input, i really want to keep my hivescript in a file, is there someway to implement such a functionality

Best regards

Simon

FetchFile should be used with ListFile to handle this.
