Motivation
In case of the inbound message is structured (Avro or JSON) the fields order may change overtime and there's no fields order guarantee from the Pulsar function framework.
The generated _id field of the document is supposed to be the same regardless the input message key fields order.
Modifications
canonicalKeyFields
(boolean, default false) to sort the key fields. Both for JSON and Avro we have to parse and rewrite the entire payload. It may increase the CPU overhead even if the sort is only performed on the keys that MUST be lower to 512 bytes in order to suit in the ElasticSearch _id field.doc
