DataStage Hierarchical stage Rest add Google service account auth.

The Hierarchical stage provides many authentication options including OAuth bearer token. This is required for Google rest calls but expires and must be regenerated. Suggestion is to allow the Google service account json file to be added as an authentication option.

    Thanks for submitting this enhancement request.

    After an analysis, unfortunately, we are not able to consider this one in the future. The Hierarchical stage is a generic stage, and adding this option would introduce a dependency on Google SDK.

    We will explore if additional alternatives would work, but we cannot consider the above proposed solution for a non-specific datasource connector.
