Description

Similar to NIFI-3832, AvroReader uses a PropertyDescriptor defined at SchemaAccessUtil.SCHEMA_ACCESS_STRATEGY which doesn't have a customized default value.

So, AvroReader shows 'Use Embedded Avro Schema' for 'Schema Access Strategy' by default, but it actually uses 'Use 'Schema Name' Property'.

This can be problematic with following flow:

ExecuteSQL -> ConvertRecord (Avro/JSON)

Where ExecuteSQL generates FlowFiles containing embedded Avro schema, but AvroReader doesn't utilize it with initial setting.
