Description

Currently, the postgres_cdc input only supports streaming CDC events from tables within a single schema. It should be able to stream CDC events from tables across multiple schemas.

The schema name would also need to be added to the event metadata.

Research direction

Start by locating the postgres_cdc input and tracing how it selects schemas and constructs event metadata. The work is done when CDC events can stream from tables across multiple schemas and each event includes its schema name; add or update the relevant tests if the existing input tests cover this behavior.
