DatabaseRecordLookupService

Description:

A relational-database-based lookup service. When the lookup key is found in the database, the specified columns (or all if Lookup Value Columns are not specified) are returned as a Record. Only one row will be returned for each lookup, duplicate database entries are ignored.

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.

The Controller Service that is used to obtain connection to database
Table Namedbrecord-lookup-table-nameThe name of the database table to be queried. Note that this may be case-sensitive depending on the database.
Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using flow file attributes and variable registry)
Lookup Key Columndbrecord-lookup-key-columnThe column in the table that will serve as the lookup key. This is the column that will be matched against the property specified in the lookup processor. Note that this may be case-sensitive depending on the database.
Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using variable registry only)
Lookup Value Columnsdbrecord-lookup-value-columnsA comma-delimited list of columns in the table that will be returned when the lookup key matches. Note that this may be case-sensitive depending on the database.
Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using flow file attributes and variable registry)
Cache Sizedbrecord-lookup-cache-size0Specifies how many lookup values/records should be cached. The cache is shared for all tables and keeps a map of lookup values to records. Setting this property to zero means no caching will be done and the table will be queried for each lookup value in each record. If the lookup table changes often or the most recent data must be retrieved, do not use the cache.
Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using variable registry only)
Clear Cache on Enableddbrecord-lookup-clear-cache-on-enabledtrue
  • true
  • false
Whether to clear the cache when this service is enabled. If the Cache Size is zero then this property is ignored. Clearing the cache when the service is enabled ensures that the service will first go to the database to get the most recent data.
Cache ExpirationCache ExpirationTime interval to clear all cache entries. If the Cache Size is zero then this property is ignored.
Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using variable registry only)
Default Decimal Precisiondbf-default-precision10When a DECIMAL/NUMBER value is written as a 'decimal' Avro logical type, a specific 'precision' denoting number of available digits is required. Generally, precision is defined by column data type definition or database engines default. However undefined precision (0) can be returned from some database engines. 'Default Decimal Precision' is used when writing those undefined precision numbers.
Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using flow file attributes and variable registry)
Default Decimal Scaledbf-default-scale0When a DECIMAL/NUMBER value is written as a 'decimal' Avro logical type, a specific 'scale' denoting number of available decimal digits is required. Generally, scale is defined by column data type definition or database engines default. However when undefined precision (0) is returned, scale can also be uncertain with some database engines. 'Default Decimal Scale' is used when writing those undefined numbers. If a value has more decimals than specified scale, then the value will be rounded-up, e.g. 1.53 becomes 2 with scale 0, and 1.5 with scale 1.
Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using flow file attributes and variable registry)
