> The GenerateRecord processor currently uses the [java-faker|https://github.com/DiUS/java-faker] library to generate fake data. This library appears to be no longer maintained (the last commit on the main branch was 3 years ago).
> This Jira proposes to replace this library with [Data Faker|https://github.com/datafaker-net/datafaker], which is actively maintained with upgraded dependencies and more categories/types from which to create fake data. It is a fork of the original java-faker so all existing categories/types are still supported with the addition of others.
> Data Faker 1.x supports Java 8 but is no longer maintained/supported. Data Faker 2.x requires Java 17+ so this Jira should only apply to the NiFi 2+ lines which have Java 17 as a minimum.
