> Add the ability to utilize aliases in Avro to Avro record conversion

> Key: NIFI-4880
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4880
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0
> Reporter: Derek Straka
> Assignee: Derek Straka
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, the Avro to Avro conversions will ignore fields that are not
> mapped verbatim. In avro schemas, it is possible for fields to be aliased to
> one another. It would be useful if a 1:1 mapping was not available, the
> aliases for the field were searched to locate a prospective value and then
> add the default.
>
> The functionality can be accomplished by adding some logic to
> AvroTypeUtil::createAvroRecord.
