Aleph Alpha Transformations API
Available transformations can be applied to an input data object of type A to produce an output data object of type B. The output data object will consist of a sequence of items, each of which will conform to an Avro schema specified in the transformation as OutputSchema. Currently, the input data object can be a File located in a Stage within the Data Platform. Future versions will support receiving Datasets from Repositories in the Data Platform as input data objects. The output data object can be loaded into various types of data storage within the Data Platform, with Repositories being the first supported storage type. When triggering a transformation, this has to be specified as destination. After loading the output into the destination, it can also be sent to an external service through available connectors in the Data Platform. The first available connector will be the Document Index Collection Connector.
