• Adds a concrete meltano.yml example to the "Replication Key" section to make it easier to see how to set a replication key for incremental replication
Closes #7316
Context
Users have reported difficulty finding how to override key-properties and replication-key using the metadata extractor extra. While the concepts/plugins page listed key-properties as a common metadata key, the integration guide lacked explicit examples. A Slack thread and StackOverflow answer confirmed that users needed this documented.
Test plan
• Verify the new section renders correctly in the docs site
• Confirm the YAML and CLI examples are syntactically correct
• Check that the existing metadata section flow is not disrupted
Summary by Sourcery
Document how to override stream key properties and replication keys via metadata in the integration guide and clarify replication key configuration with concrete examples.
Documentation:
• Add a new integration guide subsection demonstrating how to override key-properties and replication-key via metadata using both CLI and meltano.yml examples.
• Extend the replication key documentation with a concrete meltano.yml example showing how to configure incremental replication for a stream.
