Ability to Split Documents At Ingest Time

It would be useful to be able to provide Discovery logic that would allow it to split one ingested document into multiple indexed documents.  For example, make every paragraph or page a single Discovery document.

    Along with splitting the document, there is also a need to have HTML version of the text in another field (can be made optional). When we split using Document Conversion as answer units, everything becomes plain text. So even if there is a table or list, it all becomes mixed up.

    Idea is to having a "html" field along with "text" field in the json, just like it is having when we upload html file.

    Hi Senthil, no need to type +1, just ensure you click the vote button, which actually gives this a plus one :)
