Pierre Villard updated NIFI-7844:
---------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.13.0
> substring should return empty instead of throwing IndexOutOfBoundsException
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-7844
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7844
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Framework
> Reporter: Pierre Villard
> Assignee: Pierre Villard
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.13.0
>
> Time Spent: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> In the expression language, right now, for the substring function:
> {quote}If the _starting index_ or the _ending index_ is greater than the
> length of the Subject or has a value less than 0, this function call will
> result in an error.
> {quote}
> I suggest to change this behavior and return an empty string instead. Reason
> being that with the current behavior, an UpdateAttribute would fail and roll
> back the flow file in the incoming relationship, this could cause back
> pressure and completely block the whole flow to be running.
> It might be worth mentioning it in the migration guide as this changes the
> current behavior but I still think this is a reasonable change.
