Nifi: Can I do mathematical operations on a json file values?










0















I have a JSON file as an input to a processor. Something like this:



"x" : 10, "y" : 5


Can I do mathematical operations on these values instead of writing a custom processor? I need to do something like



( x / y ) * 3


^ Just an example.



I need to save the result to an output file.



UPDATE:
This is my text in generateFlowFile processor:



X|Y
1|123
2|111


And this is my AVRO schema:




"name": "myschema",
"namespace": "nifi",
"type": "record",
"fields": [
"name": "X" , "type": "int",
"name": "Y" , "type": "int" ]



When I change the above types to string, it works fine but I cannot perform math operations on a string.



FYI, I have selected 'Use Schema Name Property' in Schema Access Strategy

          Use QueryRecord processor.



          • Configure/enable Record Reader/Writer controller services

          • Define Avro schema to read the incoming Json.

          • Define Avro Schema to write the results of query in desired format.

          Add new property in the query record processor as



          sql



          select ( x / y ) * 3 as div from FLOWFILE


          The output flowfile from the query record processor will be in the configured Record Writer format.

          • Thank you for the answer! I tried the same but I get an error when the field type is "int" in the schema. Error is : Failed to read next record in input for 'x' due to For input string:'x'. And this is happening only for type int or long. But if I change to string and have the sql as selct * from FLOWFILE , it works fine.
