12.9. Conversion Processors

12.9.1. ConvertToGeoFile

The ConvertToGeoFile processor uses GeoMesa’s internal converter framework to convert files into geospatially-enabled formats and pass them along as a flow to be used by other processors in NiFi. The following output formats are supported: Arrow, Avro, 16-byte binary encoded, CSV, GML 2 and 3, JSON, Leaflet (HTML), Orc, Parquet, and TSV.
