Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-1078:
-----------------------------------
Ultimately you're seeing string representation though that output suggests it
is a Date object and not a number. Mark?
Try ${now():toNumber()}
> ${now()} returns string dates instead of a number of milliseconds

> Key: NIFI-1078
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1078
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core Framework
> Affects Versions: 0.4.0
> Reporter: Randy Gelhausen
>
> Per the docs: The now function returns the current date and time as the
> number of milliseconds since Midnight GMT on January 1, 1970.
> However, when using ${now()} in expression language, the result is: "Tue Oct
> 27 22:12:21 EDT 2015"
