Description

When NiFi builds a new schema from an existing schema (UpdateRecord, e.g.) with an ENUM type, it fails with a NullPointerException. This is because there is no handling for the ENUM type, and the default handling returns null rather than a schema containing the ENUM. A case for ENUM types should be added to support this datatype.
