Matt Burgess updated NIFI-5213: ------------------------------- Status: Patch Available (was: In Progress) > Allow AvroReader with explicit schema to read files with embedded schema > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: NIFI-5213 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5213 > Project: Apache NiFi > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Extensions > Reporter: Matt Burgess > Assignee: Matt Burgess > Priority: Minor > > AvroReader allows the choice of schema access strategy from such options as > Use Embedded Schema, Use Schema Name, Use Schema Text, etc. If the incoming > Avro files will have embedded schemas, then Use Embedded Schema is best > practice for the Avro Reader. However it is not intuitive that if the same > schema that is embedded in the file is specified by name (using a schema > registry) or explicitly via Schema Text, that errors can occur. This has been > noticed in QueryRecord for example, and the error is also not intuitive or > descriptive (it is often an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException). > To provide a better user experience, it would be an improvement for > AvroReader to be able to successfully process Avro files with embedded > schemas, even when the Schema Access Strategy is not "Use Embedded Schema". > Of course, the explicit schema would have to match the embedded schema, or an > error would be reported (and rightfully so). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
