Mike Thomsen resolved NIFI-3000.
--------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Do

[~mattyb149] AFAIK these processors are all functionally or formally deprecated. Closing this for that reason.

> Most/All of the Avro processors cannot currently handle logical types such as fixed and date types. The current version of Avro used is 1.7.7, which only supports decimal and fixed logical types (https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.7.7/spec.html#Logical+Types). If this version is to be retained, then support for decimal and fixed logical types should be added wherever possible.
> However I think a better option is to upgrade to Avro 1.8.x and support all the corresponding logical types (https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.0/spec.html#Logical+Types). This would involve regression testing and possibly breaking changes (although hopefully not from the user perspective).
