Blackhole Target¶

A blackhole target simply materializes all records of a mapping, but immediately discards them. This can be useful for some test scenarios but probably is not worth much in a real production environment.

Example¶

targets:
  blackhole:
    kind: blackhole
    mapping: some_mapping

Fields¶

kind (mandatory) (type: string): blackhole
description (optional) (type: string): Optional descriptive text of the build target
mapping (mandatory) (type: string): Specifies the name of the mapping output to be materialized

Supported Execution Phases¶

BUILD - In the build phase, all records of the specified mapping will be materialized
