> Similar to NIFI-5084, this Jira proposes a GenerateFakeRecord processor to generate dummy data into outgoing FlowFiles. There was a PR and plenty of discussion in NIFI-5084, so this Jira is separate to outline the different approach and not make the original Jira "noisy".
> This processor could use the Java port of Faker to generate dummy data. Two "modes" could be supported: 1) User-defined properties could specify various field types supported by Faker, such as Country Code, University, Future Date, etc. and 2) more generic dummy data (still provided by Faker) to populate a given Avro schema, in order to support nested and pre-existing structures.
