Properties

PropertyDescription
Custom Module DirectoryComma-separated list of paths to files and/or directories which contain modules containing custom transformations (that are not included on NiFi’s classpath).
Custom Transformation Class NameFully Qualified Class Name for Custom Transformation
Jolt SpecificationJolt Specification for transformation of JSON data. The value for this property may be the text of a Jolt specification or the path to a file containing a Jolt specification. ‘Jolt Specification’ must be set, or the value is ignored if the Jolt Sort Transformation is selected.
Jolt TransformSpecifies the Jolt Transformation that should be used with the provided specification.
Transform Cache SizeCompiling a Jolt Transform can be fairly expensive. Ideally, this will be done only once. However, if the Expression Language is used in the transform, we may need a new Transform for each FlowFile. This value controls how many of those Transforms we cache in memory in order to avoid having to compile the Transform each time.
jolt-record-record-readerSpecifies the Controller Service to use for parsing incoming data and determining the data’s schema.
jolt-record-record-writerSpecifies the Controller Service to use for writing out the records

Relationships

NameDescription
failureIf a FlowFile fails processing for any reason (for example, the FlowFile records cannot be parsed), it will be routed to this relationship
originalThe original FlowFile that was transformed. If the FlowFile fails processing, nothing will be sent to this relationship
successThe FlowFile with transformed content will be routed to this relationship

Writes attributes

NameDescription
record.countThe number of records in an outgoing FlowFile
mime.typeThe MIME Type that the configured Record Writer indicates is appropriate
