Function: genericRename

Enterprise Edition

Goal: Recursively and Generically Rename Keys in a document.

This function genericRename shows how a document can have its keys or fields renamed.
Requires Eventing Storage (or metadata collection), a "source" collection, and a "destination" collection.
Will operate on all documents where doc.type === "my_data_to_rename".
Will write transformed or flattened documents to the destination collection with the same type and id.
The destination collection can be shared (or replicated via XCDR to a business partner - maybe to AWS, GCP, or Azure).
Will also remove the transformed document in the destination collection when the original source document is removed.
Note since the document is not available during an OnDelete we will filter by KEY prefix starting with "my_data_to_rename:".
