Description

The RethinkDB Processors should be deprecated for removal in the next major release version.

The Processors have not been updated since being introduced. All Processors perform unnecessary memory-intensive operations for reading and writing JSON objects to RethinkDB.

The RethinkDB Java client version 2.4.0 contains a number of important changes from the earlier versions. Building new Processors based on the current version of the driver presents an opportunity to follow better approaches, such as making use of Records and streams instead of reading entire FlowFiles into memory.

In light of the minimal updates to these Processors, they should be deprecated for removal, clearing the way for potential new versions.
