proposal: ResourcePipe as a kubernetes custom resource

ProblemStatement: ResourcePipe is a custom resource that extracts values from one or more k8s resources and manages to build a new k8s resource from these extracted values & apply this new resource in the k8s cluster.

kind: ResourcePipe
spec:
  input:
  - apiVersion:
    resource:
    name:
    namespace:
    get:
    - key: # should unique across all gets
      # json path that uses https://github.com/tidwall/gjson
      path: 
      # string, int64, []string, []int64, []map[string]interface{}, map[string]string
      datatype: # defaults to string
      value: # optional
        default: # default value if path does not have any value
        prefix:   # if set final value will have this prefix
        suffix:   # if set final value will have this suffix
  output:
    # default resource
    template:
    # no of replicas of this template that get applied against
    # k8s cluster; is optional & defaults to 1; 0 is invalid
    replicas:
    # above template is updated with these set options
    set:
    # use the value extracted from source path & set it against
    # the destination path mapped by the key
    - key: # should match against one present in input[*].get[*].key
      path:
    # multiple keys can be used against a single path if these keys' values
    # belong to same data type
    # When multiple keys are used their corresponding values are merged
    # and set against the destination path
    - key: 
      path:
