Joseph Percivall updated NIFI-942: ---------------------------------- Attachment: NIFI-942.patch Created the RouteText processor with all the options. Test cases cover 99% of the lines. > Create RouteText processor > -------------------------- > > Key: NIFI-942 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-942 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Extensions > Reporter: Mark Payne > Assignee: Joseph Percivall > Fix For: 0.4.0 > > Attachments: NIFI-942.patch > > > The idea is to route individual lines of a text file to different > relationships. This allows for splitting lines based on some criteria or > filtering out specific lines, and would be a much more convenient alternative > than RouteOnContent for textual data. > A discussion for this took place on the users mailing list > (http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/nifi-users/201509.mbox/%3CCAKpk5PxjszdX-NXMMf6Pcet4x7Y5GmrT7_jn9uyzS-h_a9TG3A%40mail.gmail.com%3E) > The way that I could see this working is to have a few different properties: > Routing Strategy: > - Route each line to matching Property Name (default) > - Route matching lines to 'matched' if all match > - Route matching lines to 'matched' if any match > - Route FlowFile to 'matched' if all lines match > - Route FlowFile to 'matched' if any line matches > A Match Strategy > - Starts With > - Ends With > - Contains > - Equals > - Matches Regular Expression > - Contains Regular Expression > And then user-defined properties that indicate what to search each line of > text for. > So to find lines that begin with the < character > You would simply add a property named "Begins with Less Than" and set the > value to : < > Then set the Match Strategy to Starts With > And Routing Strategy to "Route each line to matching Property Name" > Then, any line that begins with < will be routed to the Begins with Less Than > relationship. > This would be a simple way to pull out any particular lines of interest in a > text file. > I can see this being very useful for processing log files, CSV, etc. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
