@bbende sounds reasonable to me. Will review as-is for now.
> Add date functions to Record Path
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-4506
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4506
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.2.0, 1.3.0, 1.4.0
> Reporter: Bryan Bende
> Assignee: Bryan Bende
> Priority: Minor
>
> We should support some date related functions in record path. At a minimum I
> think having a format function like:
> {code}
> format( /someField, 'yyyy-MM-dd', defaultValue)
> {code}
> The main use case for this is using PartitionRecord to partition by month,
> day, or hour on a date field.
> Currently you have treat the date as a string and use a sub-string operation
> to get the part you are interested in, which also assumes the date is in a
> string form in the first place.
