[Feature Request]: Add separator option to the Checksum transform #7288

What would you like to happen?

The Checksum transform simply concatenates the String contents of all specified fields before calculating the specified checksum.
To facilitate specific use-cases in database modeling like Data Vault 2.0, we want a few extra options:

  • A separator string (used to separate the strings from the fields)
  • A prefix String
  • A suffix String

The separator helps generate more unique hash codes.

These prefix/suffix options can help keep hash keys from different topics, for example customer_id=123 and product_id=123 would result in the same hash key. If we could add a prefix or suffix PROD and CUST, we don't have the same problem.
