             Summary: HBase List LookupService
                 Key: NIFI-5980
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5980
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Mike Thomsen
            Assignee: Mike Thomsen


The existing lookup service is designed to return records. This makes it unsuitable for cases where someone wants to pull out a list of keys or values from the returned row and inject that into the record.

For example, someone looking to add a list of roles to a record for downstream security constraints somewhere might store a lookup in HBase between the data item and its roles. Stored like this:

<data_item_key>:security:role_admin = 1

<data_item_key>:security:role_auditor = 1

When the flow does a lookup on the item, ex. during a reingest event, these fields could be pulled out of HBase and inserted as a List<String> into the record.
