Matt Burgess updated NIFI-8259:
-------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: In Progress)
> CSVSchemaInference should infer fields as strings if no records are present
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-8259
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-8259
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: Matt Burgess
> Assignee: Matt Burgess
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Even though the field names may be present in a flow file whose schema is to
> be inferred by CSVReader, if there are no records in the flow file the data
> types of the fields cannot be ascertained. This causes the schema to be empty
> and can result in unwanted behavior in processors such as QueryRecord and
> ConvertRecord.
> Instead the schema inference should assume all fields are of string types,
> such that a "best-effort" schema is generated for use by the processors.
