--------------------------------------
Summary: ExecuteScript should say Python is really Jython running
Key: NIFI-5821
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5821
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.7.1, 1.8.0, 1.7.0, 1.6.0, 1.5.0
Reporter: Ryan Hendrickson
Attachments: image-2018-11-15-00-37-05-004.png
Code executed in the ExecuteScript processor, when Python is selected, is
actually running as Jython. This should be made far more clear on the UI as a
user is selecting the Script Language. The only place python is made reference
to is in the tags for the processor, which also makes reference to python.
Jython datetime.datetime is not handled the same way that Python
datetime.datetime is because of mapping datetime back to Java objects in
Jython. This can cause plenty of issues, and cause Python code to need to be
modified to jython supported code.
Additionally, there's probably a series of benefits that can be taken advantage
of if you know it's actually jython vs python.
