-----------------------------------
Summary: Default Use Avro Logical Types to 'true'
Key: NIFI-11551
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-11551
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Extensions
Reporter: Matt Burgess
Fix For: 2.latest
Starting with Apache NiFi 2.0, we should default any Use Avro Logical Types
properties to 'true'. NiFi supports most/all Avro logical types as native NiFi
record field types, so to get better datatype resolution downstream, we should
be using Avro logical types wherever possible.
Historically, the reason it defaulted to false was because NiFi originally used
Avro before logical types were implemented, so when they were added to Avro,
NiFi kept the existing behavior of not using logical types by default. At this
point we should use logical types wherever possible (by default).
