[jira] [Created] (NIFI-10585) Add GenerateFakeRecord processor

Matt Burgess created NIFI-10585:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Add GenerateFakeRecord processor
                 Key: NIFI-10585
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-10585
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Extensions
            Reporter: Matt Burgess


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.
