Hi Andy, Thanks for getting back to me.
I have raised NIFI-7376 on Jira as an improvement. Hopefully that’s enough detail, if not please let me know as I can add more. I do agree with the versioning of Avro, it wasn’t something I was expecting to find in a patch release.

Please file a Jira ticket [1] requesting this as a new feature/improvement and document as many of the specific requirements you’re encountering as possible to provide context around the development effort. It’s interesting a new feature was added in a x.y.z release, which indicates they may not be using semantic versioning and we would have to perform serious evaluation before upgrading the library to ensure no other behavior was changed.

One of our Inputs into our NIFI cluster is looking to start using Avro Single Object Encoding on their messages. This was added V1.8.2 of the Avro Schema, but from what I can see NIFI is using V1.8.1 (looking at the pom.xml on GitHub, https://github.com/apache/nifi/blob/rel/nifi-1.11.4/nifi-nar-bundles/nifi-standard-services/nifi-record-serialization-services-bundle/nifi-record-serialization-services/pom.xml) of the Avro Library. Further information on the Single Object Encoding can be found here https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.2/spec.html#single_object_encoding_spec. Firstly, are there any plans to upgrade the Avro library in NIFI? Secondly with an upgrade how and will NIFI support the Avro Single Object Encoding? Has anybody implemented support for this in their NIFI clusters? Once again apologies if this has been asked before. Kind Regards, Nathan
