https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/2820
In Nifi, they way that the template would be done, is not through a
Processor, but instead you would implement this functionality as a RecordReader
with a set schema ( like the syslog schemas ). Then you could choose to write
the data with the schema included in the avro.
Sending a template is not something that processors in standard nifi
usually do, it will be enough to just document the schema in the
additionalDetails.html documentation.
When this processor lands, I think I'm going to do the RecordReader.
Then again, we should get someone else's opinion. @bbende can you chime
in here?
