How to load schema file for NiFi ConvertCSVtoAvro?

[#1]

I want to configure the ConvertCSVtoAvro processor to read an Avro schema from a local text file. When I set the "Record schema" parameter to the file's path, C:\Avro\schema1.avsc, I receive an error that reads "Failed to parse schema: C:\Avro\schema1.avsc".

How can I get the Record schema parameter to point to the contents of my schema file?

[#2 · Accepted solution]

I think the schema needs to be a valid URI which would require the file protocol like this:

file:///C:/Avro/schema1.avsc

Additionally, the schema field also allows a schema to be pasted directly into the value of the field if you want to avoid pointing at a file.

Can you provide the schema you are loadings? I'm just starting nifi and ConvertCSVtoAvro seems to be the easiet one bot I have no idea how the schema should look like...
