---------------------------------
Summary: SyslogReader should not throw Exceptions on empty/blank
lines
Key: NIFI-10767
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-10767
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Extensions
Reporter: Mark Payne
If the SyslogReader encounters an empty line, it throws an Exception:
{code:java}
if (StringUtils.isBlank(line)) {
// while an empty string is an error
throw new MalformedRecordException("Encountered a blank message!");
} {code}
Often flows are built that use MergeContent or split data apart, etc. that can
result in inadvertently including an empty line between messages. There's no
need to throw an Exception in this case. Instead, we should simply skip over
the empty line. Perhaps a debug log should be emitted but not an Exception.
