Features

  • Add appendDatasetIds to input. This is useful for transforming functions if you need to check which dataset each item comes from.
  • Add diff function to transform function's second parameter object. This is using the fast-diff package. This can be used to compare changes between string fields of two datasets.

Features

  • Add persistedSharedObject to transform functions input object. This object is shared for all transform function calls and persist over Actor migrations. This is useful mainly for the dedup-as-loading mode where the transform functions are called multiple times and only process a chunk of the data.
  • Add nullAsUnique to input. If set to true, the null and missing values are considered unique and not deduplicated.

Features

  • Enable merging all datasets for runs of an Actor or Task with actorOrTaskId, onlyRunsNewerThan, onlyRunsOlderThan input parameters.

2023-07-13

Features

  • Add customInputData object to input for easy passing of custom values into preDedupTransformFunction and postDedupTransformFunction. It is part of the 2nd parameter object.

2021-01-24

Features

  • Added fieldsToLoad to input to increase speed and reduce memory if you don't need full items in output
  • Added limit and offset to input to be able to process only slices of dataset
  • Removed uploadSleepMs as the platform can now handle much higher load of upload

Features

  • outputDatasetId can now also use dataset name. If dataset with that name doesn't exist, a new dataset is created.

2020-07-10

Fixes:

  • dedup-as-loading mode now works correctly with actor migrations. This means that this actor can finally be used for huge datasets with lower memory!

Features:

  • fields are now optional which means the actor does not need to perform deduplication
