Support X-Cumulocity-Processing-Mode

[haraldmeyer]

Cumulocity allows to define data to be received in transient modes so that it will not be stored in the database but only be made available for real-time processing. This is controlled via the X-Cumulocity-Processing-Mode.

Potential options:

• allow device codecs to define the processing mode of data sent in C8YData
• Make this a general per-device option that allows users to define if data for a specific device should be persisted or not.

Hi Harald,
I would like to work on that topic, but I'm afraid the Java SDK doesn't include the capability to change the processing mode.
I might have to implement my own REST client, which is not quite convenient.
Since versions later to 10.15 don't support Jackson anymore, and am therefore stuck with 10.15, I'm considering switching to my own microservice SDK, unless some major updates to the SDK are made, that is support for Jackson, Spring 6, Spring Boot 3, processing mode, notification 2.0 (not just the API).
Sadly there were no significant evolutions in the SDK for more than 4 years.

Hi Cyril,
can we have a meeting to talk about this? There are a number of options here.
