GetDynamoDB multiple fields

[Pablo Lopez <pa...@integrado.com.au>]

Hi,

I'm using the GetDynamoDB processor and it works fine. However, whenever I
get a record from DynamoDB it seems that in the processor we can only
retrieve one field at a time DynamoDB. The field to read is specified in
attribute "Json Document attribute". This can only point to only one field.

Is there a way to retrieve the value of all the fields in the record rather
than only one?
I can work around this by using multiple processors and each one read a
different field, but I was wondering if there is a better way to do this.

Thanks,
Pablo.

Pablo,

The GetDynamoDB processor maps the JSON document from a single DynamoDB
table attribute to the NiFi flowfile content.  There is currently no
built-in way to read all of the attributes into the flowfile content as
JSON.  I recommend filing a JIRA ticket to enable this use case (see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI) if you are interested.

Thanks,

James
