RE: [EXT] Specifying formatters at a record field level

["Peter Wicks (pwicks)" <pw...@micron.com>]

Not that I’m aware of. We implemented something custom that lets you specify it with attributes on the FlowFile (something like data.field.#.format=….), we do the same thing for binary/hex fields. But we didn’t contribute it as it’s part of a custom record processing processor that’s application specific.

Thanks,

Subject: [EXT] Specifying formatters at a record field level

If there any way to specify a timestamp format string on each field that is a TIMESTAMP (long, logical type timestamp-millis)? We have a case where we would need at least three, possibly half a dozen timestamp formats to read a record set.

Thanks,

Mike

Hypothetically, I think the path of least resistance might be to refactor
the readers and writers to allow custom properties like
"timestamp.format.1...N" and have those properties evaluated until one is
found that can parse the incoming text. Thoughts?
