---------------------------------------
Summary: CompressContent - Improve "Update Filename" Help
Description
Key: NIFI-10879
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-10879
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Ryan Hendrickson
Update Filename: true/false
Current description: _If true, will remove the filename extension when
decompressing data (only if the extension indicates the appropriate compression
format) and add the appropriate extension when compressing data._
*Notes:*
When decompressing data, with Update Filename set to {_}*false*{_}, the NiFi
Content Viewer will think decompressed JSON data is "text/plain". (filename:
giantfile.json.gz)
When decompressing data, with Update Filename set to {_}*true*{_}, the NiFi
Content Viewer will correctly think decompressed JSON data is
"application/json". (filename: giantfile.json)
I've been working with NiFi for many years.. I've always ended up pairing a
DecompressContent with a UpdateAttribute to set the mime.type.
Recommended description: _If true, will remove the filename extension when
decompressing data (only if the extension indicates the appropriate compression
format) and add the appropriate extension when compressing data. *The NiFi
Content Viewer takes hints from the file extension for appropriate file
viewing. Set to true for best results with Content Viewer.*_
