> Key: NIFI-7925
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7925
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.12.1
> Reporter: Christophe Monnet

> with this avro schema:
> {code:json}
> {
> "type": "record",
> "name": "simple",
> "fields": [{
> "name": "stuff",
> "type": {
> "type": "record",

> "namespace": "simple",

> "name": "languages",

> }
> {code}
> and this payload:
> {code:json}
> {"stuff":{"languages":[null]}}
> {code}
> ValidateRecord fails with
> Records in this FlowFile were invalid for the following reasons: ; The
> following 1 fields had values whose type did not match the schema:
> [/stuff/languages]
> But when using avrotool I can convert the payload:
> {code:bash}
> $ avrotool fromjson --schema-file schema.json payload.json > payload.avro
> $ avrotool tojson payload.avro
> {"stuff":{"languages":[null]}}
> {code}
> Moreover with this payload
> {code:json}
> {"stuff":{"languages":[]}}
> {code}
> ValidateRecord routes to the valid queue.
> Therefore I suspect that ValidateRecord has a bug when it comes to arrays
> with nullable items.
