New Ingestion Pipeline Editor

• Add new built-in pipeline step “Transform Input” which does the item fields and facets mapping. This used to be done before in the dataloader.

• Control whether item transformation happens during the extraction phase from the dataloader or inside a pipeline workflow from the “Transform Input” step using the configuration option item_transformation_in_pipeline. It is disabled by default, and should be considered experimental for this release.

• Modify the Ingester to move the input data to a processed directory after executing the pipeline. This behavior is controlled by the configuration option keep_processed_data, which is disabled by default.

• Extend the Ingester to automatically remove the processed input data after a certain time period or disk space threshold. Controlled by the configuration options days_to_retain_processed_batchesand hours_to_retain_processed_batches. This mechanism kicks in when processed data are configured to be retained.

• Offer three Pipeline Workflow presets, a set of pre-made Pipeline Workflows with steps for covering various use cases.

• Built-in steps have the possibility to use the config_options to render steps specific settings.

• Error when configuring source with pipeline steps that come from a DL plugin

• [backend] Enable modification of pipeline step names

• Ability to rerun whole pipeline for already processed data

• Pre-populate pipeline with default steps

• Enable triggering the rerunning of a pipeline workflow on the already processed raw data
