Mark Payne updated NIFI-13380:
------------------------------
Description:
If I have a record along the lines of:
{code:java}
{
"people": [{
"name": "John Doe",
"age": 30,
"siblings": [{
"sister": {
"name": "Jane Doe",
"extraInfo": {}
}
}]
}]
} {code}
I use UpdateRecord to update {{//sister[./name = 'Jane Doe']/extraInfo/title}}
to a value of {{Dr.}} but the output is unchanged.
It seems that the schema that is inferred has a lot of complex CHOICE types, as
the 'extraInfo' may now have a 'title' or not. And the RECORD type of the
siblings array has a CHOICE as a result, and so on.

If I have a record along the lines of:

{
"people": [{
"name": "John Doe",
"age": 30,
"siblings": [{
"name": "Jane Doe"
}]
}]
} {code}
When I use a RecordPath of {{//name}} I should get back 2 names: {{John Doe}}
and {{Jane Doe}} but I don't get any back. This is because the {{//}} operator
does not appear to recurse into arrays of Records.
