Assignee: Daniel Stieglitz
> Add Excel Record Reader
> -----------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-11167
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-11167
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: David Handermann
> Assignee: Daniel Stieglitz
> Priority: Minor
>
> A new Excel Record Reader should be implemented to support reading XSLX
> spreadsheet rows as NiFi Records. This Reader will enable integration with
> various record-oriented components, obviating the need for the narrowly
> focused ConvertExcelToCSVProcessor. The initial version of the Excel Reader
> should not support the legacy binary XLS format.
> The ExcelReader should use a library that supports reading from a stream of
> rows to avoid consuming large amounts of heap memory during processing.
> The ExcelReader should support configurable properties to read selected
> sheets. With Excel supporting typed field values, some amount of field type
> mapping will be required. Additional input filtering properties should not be
> implemented as existing Processors like QueryRecord support a wide variety of
> filtering and projection use cases.
