----------------------------------
Assignee: Matt Burgess
> Add PutDatabaseRecord processor
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-3704
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3704
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: Matt Burgess
> Assignee: Matt Burgess
>
> With the inclusion of NIFI-1280, which added Controller Services for
> RecordReaders and RecordWriters, we could now support a processor that reads
> records in, generates SQL statements for those records (with a specified verb
> such as INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, etc.), and can execute all the records in one
> flow file as a batch. This would allow the processor to use a single
> PreparedStatement and, for a flow file containing multiple records, would be
> able to execute them all at once. This is in contrast to PutSQL which handles
> batches across flow files (if fragmented transactions are enabled) or with a
> discrete set (by taking at most a specified number of flow files at a time).
> This processor (called PutDatabaseRecord) would effectively act like the
> combination of ConvertJSONToSQL and PutSQL, with the added features of being
> able to take records in an arbitrary format (given that there is a
> RecordReader implementation for that format) such as Avro, JSON, CSV, etc.
> and execute all the statements for the flow file at once.
> Another improvement upon what can be done in ConvertJSONToSQL would be to
> support BEGIN, COMMIT, and SQL verbs. This could be accomplished by adding an
> AllowableValue to the dropdown, letting the user select "Use statement.type
> Attribute". If this was selected, then the verb would be expected to be in
> the value of the "statement.type" attribute of the incoming flow file. Note
> that this may supercede or deprecate the need for NIFI-3676, unless this
> capability is also desired for that processor.
> For BEGIN and COMMIT verbs, the contents of the record(s) are not needed, as
> the type itself should be enough to generate the appropriate SQL commands.
> For the "SQL" Statement type, the processor could either expect the flow file
> to contain a SQL statement (so the RecordReader would not be used), or it
> could expect a field called "sql" that contains the SQL statement as its
> value.
