Subject: Re: Expression language in QueryRecord

Giovanni,

Expression Language is evaluated before the SQL query. So in your case you end 
up with a query that looks like:

SELECT
  message,
  2015-12-03T11:50:24-0500 AS lmt
FROM
FLOWFILE

And it complains about the colon in the timestamp. Try putting the EL 
expression in quotes (I think double-quotes but I can't remember).

Regards,
Matt

I think, in the form I wrote it, it does not work.


This is what the logs say

This is the SQL query

SELECT
  message,
  ${file.lastModifiedTime} AS lmt
FROM
FLOWFILE

If I do the following it works

SELECT
  message,
  CURRENT_TIME AS lmt
FROM
FLOWFILE

(so that’s not a schema error).

Giovanni,

Yes, this should work. In the upcoming version 1.3.0, there is actually an 
UpdateRecord processor that
may actually be easier than this though. You'll be able to just add a property 
named /lmt with a value of ${file.lastModifiedTime} and
that will insert it for you. :)

Thanks
-Mark

Sorry, hit send to quickly:

Hi,

Is it possible to do something like this in a QueryRecord processor:

SELECT
  message,
  ${file.lastModifiedTime} AS lmt
FROM
FLOWFILE

?

i.e. access a flowfile attribute? The Record Reader is a json, that has the 
“message” field, the Record Writer is also a JSON, with a message and lmt field.

I was hoping that, in this way, it would have been easy to add attributes to 
json’s (or other things) without using the Executescript processor

(in reality I wanted some excuses to familiarize myself with all the new 
goodies you introduced 😊)

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the double email.
