Technical changes - rename VectorWise to Actian Vector

[akeller]

Feature description

The VectorWise plugin should probably be renamed from VectorWise to Actian Vector in the package name. For example: io.kestra.plugin.jdbc.vectorwise.Batch to io.kestra.plugin.jdbc.actianvector.Batch.

I made this issue a feature request because I believe the plugin works as expected, but the name is a bit confusing. Related to #798.

Hello there, I am interested in working on this issue as it involves a plugin refactor and would be a great opportunity to explore the codebase more deeply. Also, since this appears to be a relatively major refactor for the plugin, I would appreciate any guidance or insights before getting started.

@iitzIrFan I've assigned you! Thanks for the interest. One quick clarification, I've updated the description to clarify Actian Vector without the . in the middle. We don't need vector as a subdomain of actian, so it would look more like this - io.kestra.plugin.jdbc.actianvector.Batch.

Don't forget to add an alias on the task @iitzIrFan to ensure there's no breaking change for users using the old version 🙏

Thanks @akeller for assigning the issue and clarification.

Sure @fdelbrayelle will refractor accordingly and had a quick look last time and caught almost like 20+ files needed this change which aligns with the expected scope. This appears to be the right direction, but happy to adjust if needed.

Hey @fdelbrayelle, I noticed that plugins do not currently have a native alias mechanism. For this case, would it be appropriate to use the extends keyword to extend the class instead? My understanding is that this inheritance-based delegation could act as an “alias” mechanism to maintain backward compatibility does that align with the intended approach?

@iitzIrFan You have to

• rename the package io.kestra.plugin.jdbc.vectorwise to io.kestra.plugin.jdbc.actianvector
• for each task having a @Plugin under the io.kestra.plugin.jdbc.vectorwise package, add this as an attribute to the @Plugin annotation, eg for io.kestra.plugin.jdbc.actianvector.Trigger:

aliases = "io.kestra.plugin.jdbc.vectorwise.Trigger"
