NIFI-4692 Fix AttributesToJSON property docs to match functionality
Signed-off-by: Pierre Villard <[email protected]>
This closes #5313.
> AttributesToJSON "Null Value" description doesn't match implementation
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: NIFI-4692
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4692
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Joe Percivall
> Assignee: Gábor Gyimesi
> Priority: Minor
> Time Spent: 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The description for the "Null Value" property is "If true a non existing or
> empty attribute will be NULL in the resulting JSON. If false an empty string
> will be placed in the JSON". In particular, the "empty attribute" portion
> leads me to believe that if the attribute exists but is an empty string, the
> resulting JSON would be NULL (when the property is 'true').
> In actuality, the property only appears to change whether a missing attribute
> will be NULL or an empty string ("")[1].
> Since no one has brought it up as an issue, I assume it is working as people
> would like so the documentation should be adjusted to match the actual logic.
> Potentially adding a second property for how to treat attributes with a value
> of an empty string.
