Splitting is a process of tanking an input table with N row and producing N + X row (X >= 0) by splitting a value from a specific column.
Basic syntax for splitting:
{ "id": 1, "name": "<name>", "type": "split", "source": "<source>", "target": "<target_if_persisted>", "column": "<the-column-to-split>" }, |
Source is by default optional, meaning that the table does not have to be existing. If the table is missing, the step will not be executed and its target table will not be written. There is a way to define that the source is required, in which case in case of a missing
{ "id": 1, "name": "Unpivot cars table", "type": "split", "source": "Cars_Pivot", "target": "Cars_Split", "column": "cars", "split": { "type": "vertical", "separator": ";" } } |
The separator can have more than one character. Bear in mind, that white-spaces are not trimmed.
