Julian Hyde commented on NIFI-1280:
-----------------------------------
Another possible integration with Calcite would be for Nifi to be a source for
streaming (i.e. continuously executing) Calcite queries. Calcite wouldn't be
embedded in Nifi, but rather, Calcite (or a streaming engine such as Flink,
Storm, Samza, Apex, Beam) would continuously read from Nifi. These queries
would be continuous and would therefore start with the words "select stream
...".
> Create FilterCSVColumns Processor

> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: Mark Payne

>
> We should have a Processor that allows users to easily filter out specific
> columns from CSV data. For instance, a user would configure two different
> properties: "Columns of Interest" (a comma-separated list of column indexes)
> and "Filtering Strategy" (Keep Only These Columns, Remove Only These Columns).
> We can do this today with ReplaceText, but it is far more difficult than it
> would be with this Processor, as the user has to use Regular Expressions,
> etc. with ReplaceText.
> Eventually a Custom UI could even be built that allows a user to upload a
> Sample CSV and choose which columns from there, similar to the way that Excel
> works when importing CSV by dragging and selecting the desired columns? That
> would certainly be a larger undertaking and would not need to be done for an
> initial implementation.
