Request to develop "Apply for Spanner" with GCP Spanner as CDC target

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Our cloud applications use GCP Spanner as DB that support Strong-ACID compliance writes with TrueTime ordering. Hence requesting IBM to develop "Apply for Spanner" which can build on "Apply for BigQuery" already developed by IBM. It will also be good if IBM can provide the ability to read from the sources and write to Spanner DB in two manners:

1. Mimic the source DML operations (Insert, Update, Delete) in the target as-is to keep both source and target always in sync in near real-time

2. Append only inserts in the target in the order it occurred in the source (ie., similar to the way Kafka log works). This can help build outbox kind of pattern (Ref: outbox pattern)
