Wesley L Lawrence commented on NIFI-4215:
-----------------------------------------
[~markap14] No worries, it's always better to be safe then sorry.
I'll re-submit the patch, with the schema identifier issues fixed. Thanks again
for taking a look at this!
> Avro schemas with records that have a field of themselves fail to parse,
> causing stackoverflow exception
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: NIFI-4215
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4215
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0
> Reporter: Wesley L Lawrence
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: nifi-4215.patch
>
>
> Noticed this while attempting to use the AvroSchemaRegsitry with some complex
> schema. Boiled down, Avro lets you define a schema such as;
> {code}
> {
> "namespace": "org.apache.nifi.testing",
> "name": "CompositRecord",
> "type": "record",
> "fields": [
> {
> "name": "id",
> "type": "int"
> },
> {
> "name": "value",
> "type": "string"
> },
> {
> "name": "parent",
> "type": [
> "null",
> "CompositRecord"
> ]
> }
> ]
> }
> {code}
> The AvroSchemaRegistry (AvroTypeUtil specifically) will fail to parse, and
> generate a stackoverflow exception.
> I've whipped up a fix, tested it out in 1.4.0, and am just running through
> the contrib build before I submit a patch.
