All records from the same business entity should be updated when SCD1 fields change #5

When extracting a Dimension record, and a SCD1 field changes, the Extractor class should reflect these changes on all records from the same business entity.

Example:
Suppose the following patient_dimension at the DW where patient_name is SCD1 and patient_weight is SCD2:

patient_sk patient_bk patient_name patient_weight valid_from valid_until
32145 101 Joseph Cliver 78 Kg 1900-01-01 00:00:00 2016-02-20 12:44:58
35158 101 Joseph Cliver 83 Kg 2016-02-20 12:44:58 2100-12-31 23:59:59

If a new record is extracted where the only changes are on SDC1 fields, all DW records for the same business entity should be updated. No new record should be created at the DW.

Ex, Joseph Cliver changes his name to J. Cliver:

patient_sk patient_bk patient_name patient_weight valid_from valid_until
32145 101 J. Cliver 78 Kg 1900-01-01 00:00:00 2016-02-20 12:44:58
35158 101 J. Cliver 83 Kg 2016-02-20 12:44:58 2100-12-31 23:59:59

If both SDC1 and SCD2 fields changes, a new record needs to be created, and all other fields from the same business entity should have it's SDC1 attribute updated:

Ex. J. Cliver change his name to JC and gets fatter:

patient_sk patient_bk patient_name patient_weight valid_from valid_until
32145 101 JC 78 Kg 1900-01-01 00:00:00 2016-02-20 12:44:58
35158 101 JC 83 Kg 2016-02-20 12:44:58 2016-04-01 22:18:12
45855 101 JC 88 Kg 2016-04-01 22:18:12 2100-12-31 23:59:59
