Function: genericRename
Goal: Recursively and Generically Rename Keys in a document.
-
This function genericRename shows how a document can have its keys or fields renamed.
-
Requires a metadata bucket, a source bucket, and a destination bucket aliased to "dst_bkt" in mode read+write.
-
Will operate on all documents where doc.type === "my_data_to_rename".
-
Will write transformed or flattened documents to the destination bucket with the same type and id.
-
The destination bucket can be shared (or replicated via XCDR to a business partner).
-
Will also remove the transformed document in the destination bucket 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:".

renamePartsByMap(obj[k], rename_map)
