• make import work for uploaded (not selected) files as well
• revert changes to old endpoints, introduce new one instead
• properly parse activity notification
• fix pipelines
• add new tests

Please keep in mind, existing API shall remain stable, but may be flagged deprecated.

@blizzz What exactly do you mean? Do not change already existent endpoint (keep it synchronous) but introduce v2/v3 for async tasks (even if this endpoints will be not in use on FE side)?

Yes, exactly. The old ones can get the @deprecated annotation and point to the new method.

@blizzz I've reverted all changes to old endpoints. So they are completely untouched. Now we have also scheduleImportIn(Table|View) + scheduleImportUploadIn(Table|View). FE uses new endpoints.

Also it is possible to import uploaded files (app data used under the hood)

It is shaping up nicely! It looks like a file was not committed. Did not test yet.

I will rebase current PR and fix conflicts once #1824 got merged. Because both of those 2 PRs changes import a lot. Let's go step by step
