Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
for index where VRL/transform is used, the ingest API can't be provided with that script. Users have to manually modify their metastore to make things work

Describe the solution you'd like
as part of index creation, optionally provide some configuration used in creating the ingest API source for that index

Describe alternatives you've considered
continue editing the metastore, not a great experience.
having some api to modify an existing sources.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the index-creation flow and the ingest API source configuration, then determine how VRL/transform settings are stored in the metastore. Done means index creation can optionally provide that source configuration without manual metastore edits.
