Exception in CDP Processor InferAvroSchema

Hi team,

We were in process of migrating the flow from HDF to CDP. We migrated few and while testing the flow they are working fine on new home we encountered an issue. We were working on flow in which we encountered and issue with processor 'InferAvroSchema 1.18.0.2.2.6.0-260' where as procssor 'InferAvroSchema 1.9.0.3.4.0.22-1' which was working fine with the data. While working with new processor we encountered an issue which is listed below:

ERROR b11042ff-c573-1d90-0000-0000338c6dea rit-dev-nifi-nifi0.regn-cld.fxd6-2a7z.cloudera.site:8443InferAvroSchema[id=b11042ff-c573-1d90-0000-0000338c6dea] Processing halted: yielding [1 sec]: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.avro.Schema$Field.<init>(Ljava/lang/String;Lorg/apache/avro/Schema;Ljava/lang/String;Lorg/codehaus/jackson/JsonNode;)V

As far as I know, InferAvroSchema is not a supported processor. However there are record-based processors and an AvroReader controller service you can use with those processors. AvroReader has a (default) option to Infer Schema. This should achieve the same effect, and record-based processors are often more performant.
