-----------------------------------
Summary: Investigate renaming replace expression language method
Key: NIFI-1938
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1938
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core Framework
Affects Versions: 0.6.1
Reporter: Andy LoPresto
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.0.0
As explored in NIFI-1919, the expression language string replacement methods
could be more clearly named to differentiate their actions -- the difference
between {{replace}} and {{replaceAll}} is not their frequency of operation, but
rather that {{replace}} accepts only literal strings, while {{replaceAll}}
interprets the provided search pattern as a regular expression.
Related, the {{ReplaceEvaluator}}, {{ReplaceAllEvaluator}}, and new
{{ReplaceFirstEvaluator}} classes differ only by one line for each respective
operation. It may be possible to refactor this to remove duplicate code.
