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 targetmapping
(mandatory) (type: string): Specifies the name of the mapping output to be materialized
Supported Execution Phases#
