>
> Current RecordReaderFactory and SchemaAccessStrategy implementation assumes
> there's always an incoming FlowFile available, and use it to resolve Record
> Schema.
> That is fine for components those convert or update incoming FlowFiles,
> however there are other components those does not have any incoming
> FlowFiles, for example, ConsumeKafkaRecord_0_10. Typically, ones fetches data
> from external system do not have incoming FlowFile. And current API doesn't
> fit well with these as it requires a FlowFile.
> In fact, [ConsumeKafkaRecord creates a temporal
> FlowFile|https://github.com/apache/nifi/blob/master/nifi-nar-bundles/nifi-kafka-bundle/nifi-kafka-0-10-processors/src/main/java/org/apache/nifi/processors/kafka/pubsub/ConsumerLease.java#L426]
> only to get RecordSchema. This should be avoided as we expect more
> components start using Record reader mechanism.
> This JIRA proposes refactoring current API to allow accessing RecordReaders
> without needing an incoming FlowFile.
> Additionally, since there's Schema Access Strategy that requires incoming
> FlowFile containing attribute values to access schema registry, it'd be
> useful if we could tell user when such RecordReader is specified that it
> can't be used.
