> Currently, the ConvertAvroSchema processor requires both an Input and Output Schema in order to perform a conversion.  The Input Schema should only be necessary if the Avro file(s) coming in are "raw" (aka schema-less). Otherwise the schema should be in the file and if the Input Schema property is left blank, the processor should attempt to retrieve the schema from the incoming Avro file. If the incoming file is schema-less and the property is left blank, then an error bulletin can be issued, saying that no schema was found or supplied.
> The proposed changes are these:
> 1) Make the Input Schema property .required(false)
> 2) If the Input Schema property is empty, attempt to retrieve the schema from the incoming flow file. If no schema exists, issue an error
> 3) Update the processor documentation to reflect this additional behavior.
