Matt Burgess commented on NIFI-962:
-----------------------------------
Even Avro itself doesn't have this yet:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-992. Perhaps we should work with
Avro folks on the spec.
> Create a processor to evaluate Avro paths

> Key: NIFI-962
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-962
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Bryan Bende
> Assignee: Bryan Bende
> Priority: Minor
>
> Evaluate a set of Avro paths against an incoming file, and extract the
> results to FlowFile attributes, or to the content of the FlowFile, similar to
> EvaluateJsonPath. This would allow downstream processors to easily make
> decisions based on values in an Avro record, such as RouteOnAttribute.
> This would be particularly useful to use in conjunction with SplitAvro
> (NIFI-919) to make routing decisions on bare avro records.
> Flume has a similar concept in Morphlines that may be useful to look at:
