This processor provides the ability to validate records in FlowFiles using the user-provided script. The script is expected to have a record as incoming argument and return with a boolean value. Based on this result, the processor categorizes the records as "valid" or "invalid" and routes them to the respective relationship in batch. Additionally the original FlowFile will be routed to the "original" relationship or in case of unsuccessful processing, to the "failed" relationship.

| valid | FlowFile containing the valid records from the incoming FlowFile will be routed to this relationship. If there are no valid records, no FlowFile will be routed to this Relationship. |
| invalid | FlowFile containing the invalid records from the incoming FlowFile will be routed to this relationship. If there are no invalid records, no FlowFile will be routed to this Relationship. |
| failure | In case of any issue during processing the incoming flow file, the incoming FlowFile will be routed to this relationship. |
| original | After successful procession, the incoming FlowFile will be transferred to this relationship. This happens regardless the FlowFiles might routed to "valid" and "invalid" relationships. |
