I have been struggling with this problem for a long time. I need to create a new JSON flowfile using QueryRecord by taking an array (field ref) from input JSON field refs and skip the object field as shown in example below:
Input JSON flowfile
x
{
"name": "name1",
"desc": "full1",
"refs": {
"ref": [
{
"source": "source1",
"url": "url1"
},
{
"source": "source2",
"url": "url2"
}
]
}
}
QueryRecord configuration
JSONTreeReader setup as Infer Schema and JSONRecordSetWriter
select name, description, (array[rpath(refs, '//ref[*]')]) as sources from flowfile
Output JSON (need)
{
"name": "name1",
"desc": "full1",
"references": [
{
"source": "source1",
"url": "url1"
},
{
"source": "source2",
"url": "url2"
}
]
}
But got error:
QueryRecord Failed to write MapRecord[{references=[Ljava.lang.Object;@27fd935f, description=full1, name=name1}] with schema ["name" : "STRING", "description" : "STRING", "references" : "ARRAY[STRING]"] as a JSON Object due to java.lang.ClassCastException: null

Solution!: use JoltTransformJSON to transform JSON by Jolt specification. About this specification.
