-------------------------------------------------------------
[~dstiegli1] is it possible to reconsider this for 1.x versions because the
removal of excel to CSV is a breaking change for anyone that used it and the
workarounds require hacks solutions at best and for most people that want to
move to 2.0 like our team we will be using the latest build of 1.x to leverage
these kinds of new processors to get ourselves in a 2.0 ready state with the
replacements for the deprecated processors so that the upgrade is seamless
before we upgrade our production environment to 2.0.
Having processors like this like the ExcelReader which started this available
in 1.x would allow teams to be able to upgrade existing flows with the
replacements test them and mitigate and reduce the complications of a 2.0
upgrade.
One minor addition to this split processor when you do split it similar to any
other split processor would you add the attributes of sheet count and sheet
index to it as in some cases we could make use of these counts to trigger some
logic etc especially when this is not fixed and sheets can dynamically be more
or less depending on conditions out of our control
