All, Some processors get/put data in tabular form. (PutSQL, ExecuteSQL, soon Cassandra) It would be very nice to be able use such processors in pipeline – previous processor output is next processor input. To achieve this, processors should use common data exchange format.
JSON is most widely used, it’s simple and readable. But JSON lacks schema. Schema can be very useful to automate data insert/update. Avro has schema, but is somewhat more complicated and not widely used (yet?). Please see also: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-978 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-901 Opinions?
