Customizable late initialization function for a resource #286

New feature or request
Currently late initialization is configured with
As the generation template defaults to using the
GenericLateInitializer
I don't see a way to have a custom late init function for a specific resource.A configurable custom late init function per resource would be helpful to solve this issue I believe.
This custom function should be able to handle the following use cases:
forProvider
fields to use as decision input which parameters from the terraform state to ignorecattle.io
)Scenario 1:
This
imported=true
use case requires only a specific few attributes to be set, the terraform state on the other hand returns more computed attributes. These computed attributes should be ignored during a tf plan/apply, otherwise they conflict with theimported=true
attribute.Scenario 2:
Terraform state return additional annotations and labels, but these are externally managed (
imported=true
). These labels/annotations should be excluded from tf plan/apply and resource drift detection. Crossplane should not be trying to 'revert' the values of these labels/annotations to the value it got after the create/initial apply.For example, Rancher adds annotations for its own internal housekeeping with a timestamp value:
When Rancher refreshes, and updates the value of this annotation, Crossplane triggers resource drift and tries to revert the value, which is obviously not what should be happening.
