Matt Burgess updated NIFI-11770:
--------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: In Progress)
> Change GenerateRecord to use Data Faker rather than java-faker
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-11770
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-11770
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: Matt Burgess
> Assignee: Matt Burgess
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.latest
>
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The GenerateRecord processor currently uses the
> [java-faker|https://github.com/DiUS/java-faker] library to generate fake
> data. This library appears to be no longer maintained (the last commit on the
> main branch was 3 years ago).
> This Jira proposes to replace this library with [Data
> Faker|https://github.com/datafaker-net/datafaker], which is actively
> maintained with upgraded dependencies and more categories/types from which to
> create fake data. It is a fork of the original java-faker so all existing
> categories/types are still supported with the addition of others.
> Data Faker 1.x supports Java 8 but is no longer maintained/supported. Data
> Faker 2.x requires Java 17+ so this Jira should only apply to the NiFi 2+
> lines which have Java 17 as a minimum.
