Matt Burgess resolved NIFI-4140.

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Those processors are deprecated/removed and we have since upgraded the version of Avro we use. Please feel free to reopen this case if necessary.

>                 Key: NIFI-4140
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4140
>             Project: Apache NiFi
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.3.0
>            Reporter: Andre F de Miranda
>            Priority: Major
>
> The AVRO documentation states:
> Primitive type names have no namespace and their names may not be defined in any namespace.
> https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.1/spec.html#names
> This means that a simple flow like:
> ListenSyslog (parsed) -> AttributesToJson -> ConvertJSONToAvro
> Cannot work.
> Instead the DFM must use ExecuteScript or UpdateAttribute or JoltTransformJSON to normalise the flow content prior to transform the data into AVRO records.
> It would be great to have out of the box functionality around this
