> About the RecordWriter Service, you're right, there are many benefits, but we see that isn't essential for now. There are a lot of processors that don't use services yet. So, as this improvement requires lots of change, we'll leave that for a future processor's version. Thanks for the reply @davyam. Although record-oriented support may not be required in some cases, introducing this processor without support for a RecordWriter would lock in support for the JSON-specific output. Understanding that it requires some changes, and that a lot of work has already gone into this component, it is also important to consider community maintainability. Components designed for more narrow use cases are difficult to maintain over time, so that's why it can be more difficult to introduce new components. Generating large numbers of small FlowFiles leads to poor flow performance, so that's why it is more important to implement that capability initially, as opposed to introducing it later. If you need some assistance on integration with record handling, perhaps this could be an opportunity for additional collaboration on this PR. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
