             Summary: Null Avro Values
                 Key: NIFI-3879
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3879
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Steve Champagne
         Attachments: NullableField.xml

I'm getting an error from the convertRecord processor saying an Avro Schema 
couldn't be found. I've narrowed it down to the processor thinking that my 
schema is invalid. Would it be possible to change the log message to say when 
the schema is invalid instead? 

In my schema I have a field that is optional, so I'm using a null default. This 
is what the processor thinks is invalid about it. I tried the same schema using 
the Java avro library and it seems like it's valid. 

I've attached an example template and here's the java code I'm using.

{code:java}
Schema schema = new 
Schema.Parser().parse("{\"type\":\"record\",\"name\":\"Test\",\"fields\":[{\"name\":\"name\",\"type\":\"string\"},{\"name\":\"deleted\",\"type\":[\"null\",\"boolean\"],\"default\":null}]}");
GenericRecord t1 = new GenericData.Record(schema);
t1.put("name", "Bob");
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
DatumWriter<GenericRecord> datumWriter = new 
GenericDatumWriter<GenericRecord>(schema);
DataFileWriter<GenericRecord> dataFileWriter = new 
DataFileWriter<GenericRecord>(datumWriter);
dataFileWriter.create(schema, out);
dataFileWriter.append(t1);
dataFileWriter.close();
System.out.println(new String(out.toByteArray()));
{code}
