Hi all,
(asked in Slack some days ago - no answer, so trying here)
NiFi 2.4.0.
I urgently need to use a ValidateRecord with an ${avro.schema} set. Having frequently input record values like of
"<number>-", e.g. "1-", in a field with avro type "long". Which is not valid, should be of course
"-<number>". I've expected a failed validation, with a "Validation Details Attribute Name" att containing an
information about the above.
Instead I'm getting a bulletin msg:
ValidateRecord[id=...] Failed to process FlowFile[filename=....csv]; will route
to failure: org.apache.nifi.serialization.MalformedRecordException: Error while getting
next record - Caused by: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "1-"
and no "Validation Details Attribute Name" att set.
Which is confusing me - why does a VALIDATION runs into a
"MalformedRecordException"?
Bug, or did I miss/misunderstand something?
As of now, I use the "failure" relationship, fix the already found (fixable :))
violations like the above, and re-route to the ValidateRecord. But this means getting NOT a
"stable" flow, as I can't differ between invalid records or whatever other (real)
failures.
Regards,
Michael
