Description

re https://meltano.slack.com/archives/C01TCRBBJD7/p1673366790519269?thread_ts=1671688563.297449&cid=C01TCRBBJD7

We should be able to turn off the stream name splits feature for folks that don't want it. Also we should output when we detect a stream split so that folks that have no idea the feature exists can at least have some indicator that the behavior may not be what they want (Like in the case from that slack thread where the stream in this case from dynamo has a dash in the name, but the user didn't want the dash's to represent different schemas/table names. )

  • Schema with Dashes in the name should be called out in the Logs and should be documented

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Slack thread and tracing where stream names are split and where configuration is defined. Confirm how an opt-out setting and split-detection log should work, then document the behavior and verify both enabled and disabled cases.
