What is the use case for having Parquet files flow through NiFi? I wrote
ConvertAvroToORC and every time I saw it used, it was immediately followed by
PutHDFS. So I followed the PutParquet lead and wrote a PutORC for the Hive 3
NAR. We can't currently do anything with a Parquet file (or ORC for that
matter) in NiFi, so just curious as to how you envision it being used.
Also I wonder if a ParquetRecordWriter might be a better idea? It would do
the same thing as a processor but the record processors can read in something
in any format, not just Avro. This was another impetus for having PutORC
instead of ConvertAvroToORC.
