Bryan Bende commented on NIFI-919:
----------------------------------
Sean, I captured the bare record idea based on [~rdblue] 's feedback on the
mailing list discussion:
https://www.mail-archive.com/dev%40nifi.apache.org/msg00291.html
As I've been thinking about it more, I'm not really sure if there is a specific
use-case that the bare record helps with.
The main scenario I had it mind was to take a binary Avro datafile with N
records, and split it into N datafiles, so that there could be a follow on
processor like "EvaluateAvroPath" that could extract a value from one of the
single record datafiles, and then downstream processors could make decisions
based on the extracted values. Basically the same type of stuff we can do with
SplitJson -> EvaluateJsonPath -> RouteOnAttribute or SplitXML -> EvaluateXPath
-> RouteOnAttribute.

>
> Provide a processor that splits an Avro file into multiple smaller files.
> Would be nice to have a configurable batch size so a user could produce
> single record files and also multi-record files of smaller size than the
> original. Also consider making the output format configurable, data file vs
> bare record.
