             Summary: UpdateRecord fails to update Record Schema when adding 
new "inner" field
                 Key: NIFI-6691
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-6691
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Extensions
            Reporter: Mark Payne
            Assignee: Mark Payne


If UpdateRecord is used to add a field to a Record, the output Record should 
have a schema that consists of the input record's schema modified to account 
for any newly added fields/types. For example, if the input Record contains 3 
fields, "street", "city", and "state", and a new field, "fullAddress" is to be 
added by UpdateRecord, the output Record should contain all 4 fields.

This works already. But if the field to add is not at "root" level (for 
example, if the root is a Record that has an array of type Address that 
possesses all of these fields) then the resulting Record has a Schema with an 
"Address" field that still contains only street, city, and state – not the new 
"fullAddress" field.
