David Handermann commented on NIFI-14538:
-----------------------------------------
The JXLS link does not load, I presume it is a historical reference. The
StackOverflow example could be worth noting as a starting point, but it
requires careful evaluation of the implementation details.
The level of additional complexity makes me question the value of adding this
support for XLS, do you think it is worth implementing and taking on the
maintenance of that support? I expect there will be edge cases that could be
become involved, so that is something to consider.
Also tagging [~zhtk] for input based on the initial work now completed for
ExcelReader.
> Add support for HSSF format in the SplitExcel processor

> Key: NIFI-14538
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-14538
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Daniel Stieglitz
> Assignee: Daniel Stieglitz
> Priority: Major
>
> With changes made in NIFI-14426 to add support for HSSF format in the
> ExcelReader controller service, similar changes should be made in the
> SplitExcel processor to allow for the SplitExcel processor and ExcelReader
> controller service to be used together for both Excel file types HSSF and
> XSSF (e.g. an instance of SplitExcel processor which sends flow files to for
> a ConvertRecord processor configured with an ExcelReader). It would be
> worthwhile to only start work on this ticket after NIFI-14426 is completed
> to leverage common code needed by both the ExcelReader and SplitExcel.
