Github user ijokarumawak commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/1142 Hi @ToivoAdams @trixpan I've encountered similar issue. So I've researched and tried to use Avro 1.8.1 LogicalTypes, without knowing there's an existing JIRA and PR to solve that, thanks for tackling this! I've modified the code similarly, but used a bit different approach, so I wanted you to look at mine, too. It's available in my [remote branch](https://github.com/ijokarumawak/nifi/commit/dbde98e1b3a7dc9316308170fb4b66b6deeed606). I felt that it can be better if we can opt-in this new conversion, so that existing flow can work with String representation. Also, we might be able to resolve other data types such as Date, using the same mechanism. How do you think?
