>             Project: Apache NiFi
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.11.4
>            Reporter: Eric Secules
>            Priority: Major
>
> 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:
> {code:java}
> { 
>   "fieldName" : "$.myArray[0].myValue",
>   "inputValue" : null,
>   "explanation" : "Field is required",
>   "type" : "MISSING_FIELD"
> } 
> {code}
>
