Support needed for approach to ingest data coming through CDC connector into Apptio

We are in the process of automating the ingestion of different files from multiple data sources into Apptio, and in this regard, we have come across an automation approach of CDC (Change Data Capture) connectors from one of the data sources to Apptio. This approach primarily captures only the delta records (records that have been updated, created or deleted) with data columns containing ‘Before’ (before the change- reference data) and ‘After’ data (Data after the change has happened) along with operation detail for each row of data modified as created, updated, deleted. 

Hence, we wanted to check with you if there is a direct approach for Apptio to manage and handle the data received via CDC connectors? If not, is there any workaround that you can suggest which can help us effectively navigate this scenario? 

I have attached an example of data received through CDC connector herewith for your reference (the Op column signifies the operation performed: C – Create, D- Delete and U- Update).
