Description

(Based on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-8243)

Improve the UpdateRecord processor for field removal:
In case "Replacement Value Strategy" is set to "Record Path Value", allow the users to set the empty string as the value of the paths provided through dynamic properties. This would provide the capability to remove fields.

Example - input

{
  "foo": "value",
  "record": {
    "subrecord": {
      "key": "value"
    }
  }
}

 

Dynamic property: /record => <empty string>

Output

{
  "foo": "value"
}
