Suggestion: ceContext based on item content in Splitter

[antoineco]

I'm not suggesting we must do it, but this came up today so before I forget about it, let me describe a possible improvement to the Splitter.

---

If the list being split contains different types of items, it would be nice to be able to set a different ceContext based on the result of an expression.

Very simple (nonsense) example:

[
    {
        "user": {
            "id": 0,
            "name": "Woodford"
        }
    },
    {
        "animal": {
            "type": "poney",
            "price": 9000
        }
    }
]

• If the item passes the "user" condition -> type: triggermesh.user (+ extensions, etc.)
• If the item passes the "animal" condition -> type: zoo.animal (+ extensions, etc.)
• Else -> some default context.

It's basically a shortcut for a pipeline like split -> data expression filter -> transform context.

Here is an illustration of the pattern (left part of the diagram): https://camel.apache.org/components/latest/eips/composed-message-processor.html
