/**
* Marker annotation a component can use to indicate that the framework should create a new ClassLoader
* for each instance of the component, copying all resources from the component's NARClassLoader to a
* new ClassLoader which will only be used by a given instance of the component.
*
* If cloneAncestorResources is set to true, the instance ClassLoader will include ancestor resources up to the
* first ClassLoader containing a controller service API referenced by the component, or up to the Jetty NAR.
*
* Example #1 - PutHDFS has this flag set to true and does not reference any controller services, so it will include
* resources from nifi-hadoop-nar, nifi-hadoop-libraries-nar, and nifi-standard-services-api-nar, stopping at nifi-jetty-nar.
*
* Example #2 - If PutHDFS referenced an SSLContext and has this flag set to true, then it would include
* resources from nifi-hadoop-nar, nifi-hadoop-libraries-nar, and stop before nifi-standard-services-api-nar.
*
* Example #3 - HBaseClientService_1_1_2 does not have this flag set so it defaults to false, and therefore includes
* only resources from the nifi-hbase-client-service-1_1_2-nar.
*
* NOTE: When this annotation is used it is important to note that each added instance of the component will increase
* the overall memory footprint more than that of a component without this annotation.
