Using ReplaceText goes against the purpose of this ticket. Already, the content of a FlowFile can be validated. However, this ticket is to allow the contents of an attribute to be validated. Use case: an attribute contains metadata about the content; this metadata is in XML format. See the original JIRA ticket for an example use case. I understand Mark's reservations, and I share them. Large XML documents should be avoided in attributes. However, responsible usage of attributes and "reasonably sized" XML provides an opportunity here. Also, there is support of this feature by @mosermw in this PR. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
