Dave,
Not a problem.
The FlowFile object itself is immutable. If you want to modify the FlowFile,
you do so by asking
the session to give you a new version of the FlowFile with some update. For
instance, by adding
an attribute or changing the content of the FlowFile.
So any call to session.putAttribute or session.write returns a new FlowFile. If
you update
the line that calls putAttribute so that it stores the returned FlowFile into
your 'parsed' variable,
you should be good to go.
So you would do:
FlowFile parsed = session.create(original);
parsed = session.putAttribute(parsed, CoreAttributes.FILENAME.key(),
context.getProperty(PARSED_FILENAME).getValue());
Otherwise, you end up trying to modify the same version twice (once when you
call session.putAttribute and
again when you call session.write). This is what the message is complaining
about.
Just looking through the code, a few other comments that I would offer:
* the "static boolean error = false;" is likely to cause problems. All
instances of your processor would get the same 'error' variable.
I would recommend you use an org.apache.nifi.util.BooleanHolder object (defined
in the nifi-utils module) and define
it within your onTrigger method, rather than using a member variable.
* Experience has shown that with any log message, you should log the FlowFIle
that you are referring to. You can
also parameterize your log messages. For example:
logger.error("Failed to parse {}; routing to failure", new Object[] {original});
rather than
logger.error("parsing to failure");
I hope this helps! Let us know if you're still having problems!
Thanks
-Mark
