----------------------------------
Summary: Allow AvroSchemaRegistry to disable name validation
Key: NIFI-4612
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4612
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Extensions
Reporter: Matt Burgess
The AvroSchemaRegistry is used to specify the schema/data format for Record
Readers/Writers. The Readers/Writers are implemented for any data format (JSON,
CSV, e.g.), which have their own rules for naming conventions and allowed
characters, etc. However AvroSchemaRegistry imposes the Avro rules for naming,
which can make it difficult/impossible to represent certain data formats as
records, such as Mongo documents with operators as field names (such as $set).
An improvement would be to add a boolean property to AvroSchemaRegistry
(defaulted to true to retain current behavior) called "Validate Field Names".
In the AvroSchemaValidator and AvroSchemaRegistry (both places where the schema
is parsed), the value of Validate Field Names would be set on the parser using
setValidate().
