> When working with data from external sources, such as complex WSDL, I frequently wind up with complex nested data that is difficult to work with even when converted to Avro format. Specifically, I often have two needs:
> * Converting types of data, usually from string to long, double, etc. when APIs give only string data back.
> * Flattening data by taking fields out of nested records and putting them on the top level of the Avro file.
> Unfortunately the Kite JSONToAvro processor only supports exact conversions from JSON to a matching Avro schema and will not do data transformations of this type. Proposed processor to come.
> Discussed this with [~rdblue], so tagging him here as I don't have permission to set a CC for some reason.
