Matt Burgess commented on NIFI-2359:
------------------------------------
What about the case where you only want to convert some strings into numbers
but not all of them, such as zip codes?
There is a workaround if you know which attributes will be written to JSON:
After AttributesToJSON you can use ConvertRecord with a JsonTreeReader (with a
schema specifying all fields as strings) and a JsonRecordSetWriter (with the
desired output schema).
> Improve AttributesToJSON so it can output booleans, numbers and datetimes

> Rather than

> It would be useful for AttributesToJSON to output json native types like
> booleans, numbers and datetimes
