----------------------------------
Summary: Record components do not support String <-> byte[]
conversions
Key: NIFI-4857
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4857
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Extensions
Reporter: Matt Burgess
When trying to perform a conversion of a field between a String and a byte
array, various errors are reporting (depending on where the conversion is
taking place). Here are some examples:
1) CSVReader, if a column with String values is specified in the schema as
"bytes"
2) ConvertRecord, if an input field is of type String and the output field is
of type "bytes"
3) ConvertRecord, if an input field is of type "bytes" and the output field is
of type "String"
Many/most/all of the record components use utility methods to convert values, I
believe these methods need to be updated to support conversion between String
and byte[] values.
