David Handermann commented on NIFI-14426:
-----------------------------------------
Thanks for the reply [~zhtk]. Reviewing the dependencies and some of the
implementation details, supporting the legacy XLS format in the same Reader
could be helpful from a usability point of view.
Do you have an approach in mind for determining the input type (XLSX versus
XLS)? It should be possible to read the first few bytes to make the
determination automatically.
