Generates vector embeddings to represent input text, using the OpenAI API.

Introduced in version 4.32.0.

This processor sends text strings to the OpenAI API, which generates vector embeddings. By default, the processor submits the entire payload of each message as a string, unless you use the text_mapping configuration field to customize it.

To learn more about vector embeddings, see the OpenAI API documentation.
