A user's reported an issue to do with processing the "Recorded by" field. This record appears to be correct: https://biocache.ala.org.au/occurrences/6536f255-a49e-45b3-ba3c-83c62862102d
It shows Thomas Mesaglio as the original and [Mesaglio, Thomas] as the processed value.
Whereas on this record: https://biocache.ala.org.au/occurrences/04e8e8dd-c8ff-497a-ad48-93a631b373f6

Data team investigation suggests it might be due to the apostrophe, or due to the name having more than 2 parts. It's also believed to be an issue in pipelines specifically.
3,876,171 records have provided recordedBy but don’t have processed value, so this is a very visible issue.
