Describe the bug.

Pandas 2 introduced error-raising behavior when calling to_json with incompatible orient and index arguments, which presents itself in Morpheus when using Pandas 2 (discovered while updating RAPIDS). The old Pandas behavior was to ignore index=True when orient="records", as seen in this issue. The error-producing behavior was introduced in this PR.

The error-raising behavior needs to be avoided. An easy work around is to simply use index=False here, and ignore the value passed in by calling code, but this may confuse the caller. Since we allow calling code to inject the index argument, we may need to issue a warning when the index argument is incompatible and adjust it accordingly.
