JSONPath configuration inconsistency.

[dylwylie]

Hey there,

I'm having an issue ingesting streams of Avro where an object may or may not be present.

E.G. Some messages might look like
{"something_else": "some_value"}

and others

{"something_else": "some_value", "maybe_object": {"my_key", "my_value"}}

The following JSONPath

$.maybe_object.my_key

Will evaluate as null for the first message when using JSON but will throw a com.jayway.jsonpath.PathNotFoundException when using AVRO.

I believe this is because JSONFlattenerMake.JSONPATH_CONFIGURATION sets a suppress_exceptions option, whereas the AvroFlattenerMake doesn't.

@gianm - was this on purpose or would it be safe to also set this option for the Avro flattener maker?
