[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-7141) ValidateRecord does not handle nested Map key type other than string

["Pierre Villard (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

--------------------------------------

Hi [~harmie], what kind of validation do you want to perform on the payload?

By definition Avro prevents field names to be only numerical and there is not much we can do about this (AVRO-153). Unless you accept to change the field names, you won't be able to write in Avro. If you can rename the fields/keys, then it'd be doable.

If I only use JSON for reader/writer, it works but it's probably not doing the validation you're looking for.

> Hi
> We have some incoming data that where the type is map. Problem is that key is int and not string which cause the map to have invalid data.
> Can Nifi add support for other data types for map keys as well?
> I have attached dummy example flow for example. 
> If there is any good workaround that would be good start.
