Description

Currently for Record Readers and Writer there is not an option to select "Schema Name + Schema Version" for "Schema Access Strategy".  The closest option is  "HWX Schema Reference Attributes" which needs schema.identifier + schema.version + schema.protocol.version.

Adding the option to get Schemas by only providing schema.name + schema.version would be beneficial because it would allow switching between environments (Dev, Trial, Prod) without being dependent on schema.identifier attribute (which is unique per environment)

And the other option of selecting just "Schema Name" is too little information when one has a use case where we need to process different schema versions for the same schema name
