[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-7768) enhance the MongoDB processor URL acceptance protocol to accept mongodb+srv://

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7768?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17185306#comment-17185306 ] 

Joey Frazee commented on NIFI-7768:
-----------------------------------

Pretty sure this is just a matter of what version of the Mongo driver is being used and the error is being thrown there:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The connection string is invalid. Connection strings must start with 'mongodb://'
 at com.mongodb.ConnectionString.<init>(ConnectionString.java:203)
 at com.mongodb.MongoClientURI.<init>(MongoClientURI.java:176)
 at com.mongodb.MongoClientURI.<init>(MongoClientURI.java:158)

The default driver version in NiFi is still 3.2.2, which is 4 years old and pre-dates the SRV record support [1]. There are build profiles for using 3.6.x (-P3.6) or 3.8.x (-P3.8) and using those the processor initialization gets past this point. I don't have access to a setup using this though so I can't do a real test.

Bumping the driver version we're using should probably resolve the issue.

> when trying to connect to a MongoDB atlas instance, we see a message that says `mongo db URL should start with mobgodb://`. But our atlas connection string starts with `mongodb+srv`. Please enhance the processor/controller service to accept `mongodb+srv://` also.
