Description

In the process of trying to UPSERT rows with Phoenix via Nifi, I've run into the following:

org.apache.phoenix.schema.ConstraintViolationException: org.apache.phoenix.schema.TypeMismatchException: ERROR 203 (22005): Type mismatch. VARCHAR cannot be coerced to BOOLEAN

It appears that Phoenix currently does not know how to coerce a String into a Boolean (see here). This is a feature that's present in other drivers such as PostgreSQL.
