Description

PutKudu is Record oriented. But the Operation Type is specified as a property that can be configured using EL, which means that all operations for a given FlowFile must have the same Operation Type - it cannot vary per Record.

It would be helpful to allow users to use RecordPath to configure the operation type and the data to insert. For example, we could have a record like:

{
  "data": {
    "name": "John Doe",
     "id": 45
  },
  "metadata": {
    "operation": "insert"
  }
}

And then configure PutKudu to use a RecordPath of `/metadata/operation` for dictating the Operation Type and `/data` for dictating the data to insert.
