Description

Modifies the contents of a FlowFile that contains Record-oriented data (i.e. data that can be read via a RecordReader and written by a RecordWriter) by removing selected fields. This Processor requires that at least one user-defined Property be added. The name of the property is ignored by the processor, but could be a meaningful identifier for the user. The value of the property should indicate a RecordPath that determines the field to be removed. The processor executes the removal in the order in which these properties are added to the processor. Set the “Record Writer” to “Inherit Record Schema” in order to use the updated Record Schema modified when removing Fields.
