Add Option to Truncate Table in Destination Stage Before Inserting Data

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

In many data transfer scenarios, it is essential to ensure that the destination table is empty before inserting a fresh set of data. Currently, this requires the creation of a separate pipeline to truncate the table, followed by an orchestration pipeline to execute the truncation pipeline first and then the data insertion pipeline. This approach adds complexity and overhead to the data transfer process.

To streamline this workflow, I propose adding an option in the destination stage for databases to truncate the table before inserting data. This enhancement would eliminate the need for separate pipelines and orchestration, thereby simplifying the process and improving efficiency.

Additionally, it would be beneficial to introduce a processor/executor stage capable of running queries with input and output functionality. This stage could be integrated into the middle of a pipeline, allowing for more flexible and dynamic data processing.

Implementing these features would greatly enhance the usability and efficiency of StreamSets for database operations.
