James Wing commented on NIFI-4215:
----------------------------------
Thanks, [~markap14] , for bringing these issues to our attention.
I pushed a new commit to revert this change so it is not blocking, and we can
take the time to make the right fix.
[~WesleyLawrence], I think the builder approach is worth a look, although I
also haven't figured out the chicken vs. egg schema creation with a builder. I
like that part of your solution.
> Avro schemas with records that have a field of themselves fail to parse,
> causing stackoverflow exception

> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0

> Noticed this while attempting to use the AvroSchemaRegsitry with some complex
> schema. Boiled down, Avro lets you define a schema such as;
> {code}
> {
> "namespace": "org.apache.nifi.testing",
> "name": "CompositRecord",
> "type": "record",
> "fields": [
> {
> "name": "id",
> "type": "int"
> },
> {
> "name": "value",
> "type": "string"
> },
> {
> "name": "parent",
> "type": [
> "null",
> "CompositRecord"
> ]
> }
> ]
> }
> {code}
> The AvroSchemaRegistry (AvroTypeUtil specifically) will fail to parse, and
> generate a stackoverflow exception.
> I've whipped up a fix, tested it out in 1.4.0, and am just running through
> the contrib build before I submit a patch.
