[GitHub] nifi issue #1589: NIFI-1705 Adding AttributesToCSV processor

Github user mattyb149 commented on the issue:

    Another thing to consider here (although it would be a fair amount of refactor) is to repurpose this processor as AttributesToRecord. It doesn't add efficiency as a "record-aware" processor as you'll only be producing one record from one set of attributes (i.e. per-flowfile), but if you leverage a RecordWriter you instantly have an AttributesToAnythingThatHasARecordWriter processor :) So it would supplant AttributesToJSON (and would support converting types which AttributesToJSON does not do IIRC) and provide CSV output (your original goal) as well as Avro, FreeFormText, etc. What do you think?
