be able to update other keys in json to null

[venkaa6]

Sometimes we want to keep a record of that json record even if our customer requests to delete that data. So instead of removing that full record from the json document, can we update the json keys partially to null?
example:
so current json record:

{
  "customerId": 123, 
  "createdAt": "2021-05-10",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "phone": "456-789-0299"
}

instead of fully removing the record, we would want the s3 file to look like below:

{
  "customerId": 123, 
  "createdAt": "2021-05-10",
  "email": "",
  "phone": null
}

Thanks @venkaa6 - I worked on a redaction POC that is still on a dedicated branch here but we temporarily stopped development on that side, sounds like we can reconsider.

The previous POC may work for you, it was based on keeping the record as is, and override only a number of particular fields declared on each Data Mapper, for instance like this:
https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-s3-find-and-forget/blob/redaction-poc/redaction-samples/config.json#L7-L8

If that would be the case, we can think of bringing that branch up to date.

Hi, we aren't currently working on any redaction feature as the previous work wasn't needed anymore. While we aren't able to allocate any time to prioritise this, we would be open to external contributions. Would it be something you would be interested about?
