Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We have several related requests for transforming maps and lists. We also have the list_to_map and map_to_list processors. Can we combine them somehow?

Describe the solution you'd like

Create a cohesive processor (or set of processors) for supporting array and map transformations.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the related issues #3961, #3962, #3963, #3964, #3965, and #3867, then examine the existing list_to_map and map_to_list processors. Done means defining and implementing a cohesive processor or processor set for array and map transformations, including the requested list, map, and string support.
