----------------------------------
Summary: JdbcCommon.createSchema() throws exception when no
columns are present
Key: NIFI-1412
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1412
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Matt Burgess
The discovery of the bug in NIFI-1409 was a result of an exception being thrown
when no columns were present in a result set returned by a query in the
ExecuteSql processor. While NIFI-1409 is concerned with handling all such
exceptions, this case is for the aforementioned exception.
The problem seems to be in JdbcCommon.createSchema():
https://github.com/apache/nifi/blob/nifi-0.4.1/nifi-nar-bundles/nifi-standard-bundle/nifi-standard-processors/src/main/java/org/apache/nifi/processors/standard/util/JdbcCommon.java#L130
This line asks for the table name for the first column, and when there are no
columns, a SQLException is thrown.
The Avro docs suggest that no fields are necessary for the schema to be valid,
so if there are no columns in the result set, a schema with no fields should be
returned, rather than an exception being thrown.
