             Summary: AvroTypeUtil Decimal support using Fixed Error
                 Key: NIFI-5662
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5662
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core Framework
    Affects Versions: 1.7.1
         Environment: RHEL 7.5
JDK 1.8.182
            Reporter: Gideon Korir


When the decimal is specified as fixed in the Avro schema, AvroTypeUtils 
converts the decimal into a ByteBuffer instead of a GenericFixed.

The code:
{code:java}
return new Conversions.DecimalConversion().toBytes(decimal, fieldSchema, 
logicalType)
{code}
 Should be:
{code:java}
return fieldSchema.getType() == Type.BYTES
? new Conversions.DecimalConversion().toBytes(decimal, fieldSchema, logicalType)
: new Conversions.DecimalConversion().toFixed(decimal, fieldSchema, 
logicalType);
{code}
The former causes the AvroRecordSetWriter to fail with the error: 

_org.apache.avro.file.DataFileWriter$AppendWriteException: 
java.lang.ClassCastException: java.nio.HeapByteBuffer cannot be cast to 
org.apache.avro.generic.GenericFixed_
