Mike Thomsen resolved NIFI-3000.
--------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Do
[~mattyb149] AFAIK these processors are all functionally or formally
deprecated. Closing this for that reason.
> Avro processors should support logical types

> Key: NIFI-3000
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3000
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: Matt Burgess
> Priority: Major
>
> Most/All of the Avro processors cannot currently handle logical types such as
> fixed and date types. The current version of Avro used is 1.7.7, which only
> supports decimal and fixed logical types
> (https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.7/spec.html#Logical+Types). If this version
> is to be retained, then support for decimal and fixed logical types should be
> added wherever possible.
> However I think a better option is to upgrade to Avro 1.8.x and support all
> the corresponding logical types
> (https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.0/spec.html#Logical+Types). This would
> involve regression testing and possibly breaking changes (although hopefully
> not from the user perspective).
