> Create Avro Schema by inferring CSV and JSON data

> There are several situations where the ability to dynamically create an Avro
> schema is desired. Kite provides the ability to dynamically infer an Avro
> schema from both CSV and JSON data. Since NiFi already contains a kite bundle
> for converting csv and json to Avro this feature should be an easy add.
> I propose 2 new processors "InferAvroSchemaFromCSV" and
> "InferAvroSchemaFromJSON". These processors will reside inside of the
> existing "nifi-kite-bundle" and extend upon the already present third party
> libraries. Each processor will accept either CSV or JSON and produce as
> output the Avro Schema JSON and the original data that was presented to them.
> The processors will rely on kite to perform the actually inferring of the
> schema.
