JsonTreeReader changing time zones in NIFI

avatar

I have record from kafka like this

 

{"datetime": "2023-08-03 10:46:50", "long": 106.8451, "lat": -6.2146, "city": "Jakarta", "status": "unknown", "nickname": "unknown"}

 

I use Convertrecord JsonTreeReader with Schema Access Strategy Infer Schema and to change Parquet before I stored in Hive

 

But in my table in Hive the datetime change

from 2023-08-03 10:46:50

to 2023-08-03 17:46:50

 

How to Handle that, I want to stay with same kafka record? I live in GMT+7

yes, you can try like that or like :
format( /datetime, "yyyy/MM/dd/HH", "Asia/Jakarta") - but you will need to switch Replacement Value strategy, from Literal Value to Record Path Value.

@VidyaSargur can you help me?

@Galih, as far as I know, your date will be converted to GMT per default. You could try using an UpdateRecord instead of an ConvertRecord and add a property name "/YOUR_DATE_COLUMN_NAME", having the value: format( /YOUR_DATE_COLUMN_NAME, "yyyy/MM/dd/HH", "THE_TIMEZONE_YOU_ARE_IN"). This is what I am using right now to avoid this exact behavior, especially when working with different formats (JSON to AVRO, AVRO to CSV, etc)
