@ottobackwards You're right. Adding RAW to json is configurable property.
I also see no usage of the RAW data downstream. I will remove that property..
Fine??
However templates is required, one scenario is "assume user want to convert
this json to avro in downstream(external to nifi). That time he needs to know
the **data type** of each field to create avro schema.. Sending ONE-TIME
template , would be helpful in downstream to create schema."
