For example, given a table web_order in the database mydb, we may define a transform rule as follows: + +```yaml +transform: + - source-table: mydb.web_order + projection: id, order_id, UPPER(product_name) as product_name + partition-keys: product_name + description: reassign partition key example +``` + +## Specify table creation configuration +Extra options can be defined in a transform rule, and will be applied when creating downstream tables. Given a table `web_order` in the database `mydb`, we may define a transform rule as follows: + +```yaml +transform: + - source-table: mydb.web_order + projection: id, order_id, UPPER(product_name) as product_name + table-options: comment=web order + description: auto creating table options example +``` +Tips: The format of table-options is `key1=value1,key2=value2`. + +## Classification mapping +Multiple transform rules can be defined to classify input data rows and apply different processings. For example, we may define a transform rule as follows: + +```yaml +transform: + - source-table: mydb.web_order + projection: id, order_id + filter: UPPER(province) = 'SHANGHAI' + description: classification mapping example + - source-table: mydb.web_order + projection: order_id as id, id as order_id + filter: UPPER(province) = 'BEIJING' + description: classification mapping example +``` + +# Known limitations +* Currently, transform doesn't work with route rules. It will be supported in future versions. +* Computed columns cannot reference trimmed columns that do not present in final projection results. This will be fixed in future versions. +* Regular matching of tables with different schemas is not supported. If necessary, multiple rules need to be written. \ No newline at end of file
