Matt Burgess updated NIFI-10585:
--------------------------------
Description:
Similar to NIFI-5084, this Jira proposes a GenerateRecord processor to generate
dummy data into outgoing FlowFiles. There was a PR and plenty of discussion in
NIFI-5084, so this Jira is separate to outline the different approach and not
make the original Jira "noisy".
This processor could use the Java port of Faker to generate dummy data. Two
"modes" could be supported: 1) User-defined properties could specify various
field types supported by Faker, such as Country Code, University, Future Date,
etc. and 2) more generic dummy data (still provided by Faker) to populate a
given Avro schema, in order to support nested and pre-existing structures.
