             Summary: Validate Record Prints Array Paths in Confusing Way
                 Key: NIFI-7636
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7636
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.11.4
            Reporter: Eric Secules


When there is a avro Validation Error in an element of a JSON array the array index is placed before the array's name in the path. For example if the input JSON was this:


{code:java}
{
  "myArray": [
    {
      "myValue": null
    }
  ]
}
{code}
 and "myValue" was required

 the validation error would be:

 
{code:java}
{
  "fieldName" : "[0]/myArray/myValue",
  "inputValue" : null,
  "explanation" : "Field is required",
  "type" : "MISSING_FIELD"
}
{code}

It would make more sense if the array index was after the array field name like so. Placing the array index before the array doesn't make any sense to me.
{code:java}
{ 
  "fieldName" : "/myArray/[0]/myValue",
  "inputValue" : null,
  "explanation" : "Field is required",
  "type" : "MISSING_FIELD"
}

{code}
or if the field name was made using JSONPath syntax like $.myArray[0].myValue.
