Ryan Blue created NIFI-969:
------------------------------
Summary: Add option to use standard JSON or Avro-JSON to
ConvertAvroToJSON
Key: NIFI-969
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-969
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Extensions
Affects Versions: 0.3.0
Reporter: Ryan Blue
ConvertAvroToJSON uses {{GenericData#toString(GenericRecord)}} to convert to
JSON. This produces
[Avro-JSON|https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.7/spec.html#json_encoding], which
probably isn't what most users want because it adds an unexpected layer for
Avro union types:
bq. the union schema {{["null","string",...]}} ... would encode: the string
{{"a"}} as {{{"string": "a"}}} ...
It would be good to have a conversion that doesn't add those layers as an
option.
