---------------------------------
Summary: Support named captures in ExtractText
Key: NIFI-2072
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2072
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Joey Frazee
ExtractText currently captures and creates attributes using numeric indices
(e.g, attribute.name.0, attribute.name.1, etc.) whether or not the capture
groups are named, i.e., patterns like (?<name>\w+).
In addition to being more faithful to the provided regexes, named captures
could help simplify data flows because you wouldn't have to add superfluous
UpdateAttribute steps which are just renaming the indexed captures to more
interpretable names.
