    Thanks for the detail comment and suggestion.
    That helps me a lot.
    
    Some fix by suggestion like.
    1 - put back StringmaxValueColumnNames to GenerateTableFetch to avoid NPE 
unit test fail.
         (Originally forget to include this line)
    2 - move re-cache method, calling super.setup(), before the getColumnType 
to provide more 
    readable code. 
    3 - Remove ternary operator because evaluateAttributeExpressions already 
can handle null flowfile.
    
    Thanks

>
> The problem can easily be reproduce.
> Once GenerateTableFetch store state and encounter NiFi instance reboot.
> (Dynamic naming table by expression language)
> The exception will occur.
> The error in source code is list below.
> ```
>     if (type == null) {
>     // This shouldn't happen as we are populating columnTypeMap when the 
> processor is scheduled or when the first maximum is observed
>     throw new IllegalArgumentException("No column type found for: " + 
> colName);
>     }
> ```
> When this situation happened. The FlowFile will also be grab and can't 
> release or observed.
> Processor can't grab existing  column type from *columnTypeMap* through 
> instance reboot.
> Hence will inevidible get this exception, rollback FlowFile and never success.
> QueryDatabaseTable processor will not encounter this exception due to it 
> setup(context) every time,
> While GenerateTableFetch will not pass the condition and thus try to fetch 
> column type from 0 length columnTypeMap.

>     if (!isDynamicTableName && !isDynamicMaxValues) {
>     super.setup(context);
>     }

> I can take the issue if it is recognize as bug.
