             Summary: Allow RecordPath to be used in order to access nested fields within QueryRecord
                 Key: NIFI-5903
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5903
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Mark Payne
            Assignee: Mark Payne
             Fix For: 1.9.0


QueryRecord is an immensely powerful tool when evaluating "flat" data such as CSV or flattened JSON. However, when evaluating data that has a lot of nested elements, it loses a lot of its power quickly because there is no way to query those nested elements. We should enable users to use RecordPath to pull out particular fields of a Record so that we can write queries like:

{{SELECT *}}

{{FROM FLOWFILE}}

{{WHERE RPATH(organization, '/department/name') = 'Research and Engineering'}}
