BLUF I would like to propose adding a method to org.apache.nifi.components.PropertyValue whose signature would be
Charset asCharset(); (where Charset is a java.nio.charset.Charset object) Background While working NIFI-14135 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-14135>, I noticed there are almost 40 lines between processors and controller services which have the line final Charset charset = Charset.forName(context.getProperty(CHARACTER_SET).getValue()); and there are some which have code that look like final String charsetName = context.getProperty(CHARSET).getValue(); but eventually have code later which converts the string into a Charset object (e.g. Charset.forName(charsetName) ). It would seem to me this can all be simplified if we had a method in org.apache.nifi.components.PropertyValue which converted the property value to a java.nio.charset.Charset. Please let me know your thoughts on this proposal. Thanks!
