Update UpdateForV9 in AttachmentProcessor (#118186)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We are not going to make this change in V9. We may do it in V10. This
change just bumps the annotation to remind us to revisit.

Since we are living with this for a while, it seems worth improving
the documentation. This now encourages explicitly setting the option
one way or the other, since you get a warning if you omit it. It also
changes the existing examples to use true rather than false, as that's
our recommendation. And it adds a new section with an example where
it's true, and moves the content previously in a note into that
section.

(cherry picked from commit bc25a73)

==== Keeping the attachment binary

Keeping the binary as a field within the document might consume a lot of resources. It is highly recommended to remove
that field from the document, by setting `remove_binary` to `true` to automatically remove the field, as in the other
examples shown on this page. If you _do_ want to keep the binary field, explicitly set `remove_binary` to `false` to
avoid the warning you get from omitting it:
