Description

I tried to use LookUpRecord as described in the "Record Update Strategy - Replace Existing Values" section here https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/components/org.apache.nifi/nifi-standard-nar/1.15.0/org.apache.nifi.processors.standard.LookupRecord/additionalDetails.html

I created a SImpleKeyValue Lookup service with the following values:

• FR => France
• CA => Canada

I created a generate flow file processor with the mentioned JSON input.

I configured LookUpRecord as follows:

Once LookUpRecord is executed, I see the following error message:

 

Practically it looks to me that most of the LookUpServices provided with NiFi uses hard coded "key" as the name of the key. I am not sure how a key called "region" is supposed to work with Simple Key Value Lookup Service.

 

Please find enclosed a template for reproducing the problem.
