<!-- Processor Documentation ================================================== -->
<h2>Description:</h2>
<p>
This processor retrieves one or more files from GridFS. The query can be provided in one of three ways:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Query configuration parameter.</li>
<li>Built for you by configuring the filename parameter. (Note: this is just a filename, Mongo queries cannot be
embedded in the field).</li>
<li>Retrieving the query from the flowfile contents.</li>
</ul>
<p>
The processor can also be configured to either commit only once at the end of a fetch operation or after each file
that is retrieved. Multiple commits is generally only necessary when retrieving a lot of data from GridFS as measured
in total data size, not file count, to ensure that the disks NiFi is using are not overloaded.
