Andre F de Miranda created NIFI-4140:
----------------------------------------
Summary: InferAvroSchema and ConvertJSONToAvro struggle to handle
attributes names containing dots
Key: NIFI-4140
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4140
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.3.0
Reporter: Andre F de Miranda
The AVRO documentation states:
Primitive type names have no namespace and their names may not be defined in
any namespace.
https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.1/spec.html#names
This means that a simple flow like:
ListenSyslog (parsed) -> AttributesToJson -> ConvertJSONToAvro
Cannot work.
Instead the DFM must use ExecuteScript or UpdateAttribute or JoltTransformJSON
to normalise the flow content prior to transform the data into AVRO records.
It would be great to have out of the box functionality around this
