NIFI-10687 set Elasticsearch document _id to null if ID attribute evaluated to
blank String for PutElasticsearchRecord or PutElasticsearchJson; use @timestamp
default value if @timestamp record path evaluates to blank String in
PutElasticsearchRecord
This closes #6575

> Key: NIFI-10687
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-10687
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.18.0
> Reporter: Chris Sampson
> Assignee: Chris Sampson
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> {{PutElasticsearchRecord}} and {{PutElasticsearchJson}} will try to pass an
> empty/blank String as the {{_id}} of the document to be created in
> Elasticsearch if the processor is, for example, configured to use an
> attribute from the FlowFile or a field from the Record that doesn't exist.
> To re-create:
> * set the ID field to point at a non-existent Field using Expression
> Language, e.g. {{${notExist}}}
> * input a FlowFile where the attribute/Record Path equates to a non-existent
> Field (i.e. returns an empty String, but not {{null}})
> * observe that the attempt to send a document to Elasticsearch uses the empty
> String rather than {{null}}
> Setting the {{_id}} in NiFi to {{null}} in such circumstances would be
> preferable/expected as this would cause Elasticsearch to auto-generate an
> {{_id}} when indexing.
> Other NiFi processor fields may also be affected, e.g. for {{@timestamp}}
> (others should be considered, but some fields should legitimately equate to
> an empty/blank String and cause an error - {{index}}, for example)
