Pinging @elastic/es-core-features (:Core/Features/Ingest)

@gaobinlong, thank you for this contribution. It's useful functionality that we would like to incorporate into ingest pipelines. We are reconsidering how we've organized the processors and are trying to determine whether this fits best as part of the existing set processor or as its own separate processor. If you'll bear with us while we consider that, we will let you know and then work to get this PR refactored if necessary and then merged.

@danhermann, I have tried to use set processor to copy one field to another, but found that we cannot copy array,object and boolean, because the template snippet always produces string value. I'm eager to know your idea about that and glad to do more work.

@gaobinlong, apologies for the delay on this one. We decided that this is how the set processor should work instead of producing string values as you note that it does now. If you would like to continue this PR by modifying the set processor to correctly handle, I would be happy to review it.

@danhermann, I'm glad to continue doing that and will refractor the code soon.

@danhermann , I have refactored the code and opened a new PR #63540, this PR can be closed lately.
