Add Support For Mapping of Annotations

[bbrandt]

Annotations are stored in Cognite as events of type cognite_annotation. There are sometimes id values in metadata fields CDF_ANNOTATION_resource_id and CDF_ANNOTATION_file_id that we have seen. We depend on these id's being correct to show the list of files applicable to an asset or other entities. When these events are being replicated to the target project, the id's are not being updated with the target id.

Please add support for contextualization annotations in the replicator. Thanks!

I believe there is a new version of the annotations API that should likely be supported rather than the old specification I documented earlier.

Hi, @bbrandt :)

As you might know we have run best effort migration scripts that migrate event annotations to the annotations API.

As I understand it, the problem still stands that you want the replicated annotations to point to the replicated files.

One way to potentially solve this would be to create a mapping table during file replication and refer to that when replicating annotations afterwards.

Have I understood correctly?

[bbrandt]

Yes. That was it.
