generate multiple records within a Command

[Norbert Burger]

Hi folks - I have a JSON datasource which contains payloads with an embedded JSON list.  Within a Morphlines command, I'd like to "explode" these payloads so that one record becomes many records, each containing one element from the embedded list.  Any suggestions on how to do this easily?

I should clarify that I'm currently using the dynamic Java code approach.  I suspect if I switch to a real Command, I could just use super.doProcess() within a loop to explode my records, like SeparateAttachments.  Any way to emulate this within a Morphlines config file?

In your "java" command you can call child.process(Record) as often as you like. Typically, along these lines:

...

for (Object value : record.get("foo")) {

  Record childRecord = record.copy(); // or maybe childRecord = new Record();

  childRecord.put("bar", value);

  if (!child.process(childRecord)) {

    return false;

  }

}

return true;
