> MergeRecords not working after RouteOnAttribute
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-7510
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7510
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.11.4
> Environment: MS Windows 10
> Reporter: Shane Downey
> Priority: Minor
>
> Here's the scenario:
> I need to process an arbitrary length spreadsheet or CSV file.
> For each row in the file, I need to extract a value from a column called "Key" and pass it into a SQL Query. If the query returns 0 rows I need to write the source "Key" into an exception file.
> For the successful queries, I need to write the full output to a spreadsheet file.
>
> Setup:
> GetFile-->ConvertExceltoCSVProcessor-->SplitRecord(CSVReader/JSONRecordSetWriter)->
> ExtractText("Key"/Value)-->UpdateAttribute("arg.1"=value)->
> ExecuteSQLRecord()-->RouteOnAttribute(rowcount=0)->LogAttribute
> RouteOnAttribute(rowcount!=0)-->MergeRecords(Defragment)->PutFile
>
> In the above scenario, the FlowFile blocks in the queue leading into MergeRecords (never actually makes it into MergeRecords).
>
> If I change the merge strategy to Bin then data does flow through to the output file in "chunks" of rows.
> If I remove RouteOnAttribute from the flow, the solution works as expected and my output file is created as expected.
>
> Thus - there appears to be an issue using RouteOnAttribute within a SplitRecord/MergeRecord block and using the defragment merge strategy.
