LookupRecord

Description:

Extracts one or more fields from a Record and looks up a value for those fields in a LookupService. If a result is returned by the LookupService, that result is optionally added to the Record. In this case, the processor functions as an Enrichment processor. Regardless, the Record is then routed to either the 'matched' relationship or 'unmatched' relationship (if the 'Routing Strategy' property is configured to do so), indicating whether or not a result was returned by the LookupService, allowing the processor to also function as a Routing processor. The "coordinates" to use for looking up a value in the Lookup Service are defined by adding a user-defined property. Each property that is added will have an entry added to a Map, where the name of the property becomes the Map Key and the value returned by the RecordPath becomes the value for that key. If multiple values are returned by the RecordPath, then the Record will be routed to the 'unmatched' relationship (or 'success', depending on the 'Routing Strategy' property's configuration). If one or more fields match the Result RecordPath, all fields that match will be updated. If there is no match in the configured LookupService, then no fields will be updated. I.e., it will not overwrite an existing value in the Record with a null value. Please note, however, that if the results returned by the LookupService are not accounted for in your schema (specifically, the schema that is configured for your Record Writer) then the fields will not be written out to the FlowFile.

Properties:

In the list below, the names of required properties appear in bold. Any other properties (not in bold) are considered optional. The table also indicates any default values, and whether a property supports the NiFi Expression Language.

Result RecordPath			A RecordPath that points to the field whose value should be updated with whatever value is returned from the Lookup Service. If not specified, the value that is returned from the Lookup Service will be ignored, except for determining whether the FlowFile should be routed to the 'matched' or 'unmatched' Relationship. Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using flow file attributes and variable registry)
Routing Strategy	route-to-success	Route to 'success' Route to 'matched' or 'unmatched'	Specifies how to route records after a Lookup has completed
Record Result Contents	insert-entire-record	Insert Entire Record Insert Record Fields	When a result is obtained that contains a Record, this property determines whether the Record itself is inserted at the configured path or if the contents of the Record (i.e., the sub-fields) will be inserted at the configured path.
Record Update Strategy	use-property	Replace Existing Values Use Property	This property defines the strategy to use when updating the record with the value returned by the Lookup Service.

Dynamic Properties:

Dynamic Properties allow the user to specify both the name and value of a property.

Name	Value	Description
Value To Lookup	Valid Record Path	A RecordPath that points to the field whose value will be looked up in the configured Lookup Service Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using flow file attributes and variable registry)

Relationships:

Name	Description
success	All records will be sent to this Relationship if configured to do so, unless a failure occurs
failure	If a FlowFile cannot be enriched, the unchanged FlowFile will be routed to this relationship

Reads Attributes:

None specified.

Writes Attributes:

Name	Description
mime.type	Sets the mime.type attribute to the MIME Type specified by the Record Writer
