Treating empty Values when using Enforce schema
This is more of a question with a use case when loading nodes lets imagine we have two objects
{ "name": "moving item" , "can_move" : True}
{ "name": "cat" , "can_make_noise": True}
let's say we can create a schema merging the properties of these objects that looks something like
name:STRING|can_move:BOOL|can_make_noise:BOOL
moving item|True|
cat||True
When using the bulk loader with enforce schema we are expected to define a value for the missing columns can_move for cat or can_make_noise for moving item.
There are cases where in data we are trying to load doesn't make sense to use default values , i.e cases where we can't assert that if this is not provided then use False (or True) for that matter .
Question is is it possible to accept missing values and not write those properties in the graph if values for those columns (attributes) are not provided?
Hi @YaphetKG,
Sorry for the late response! The enforce-schema option currently assumes no property is optional, but I agree that this is a worse design than allowing missing values.
If you'd like to open a PR to this effect, I'd happily merge it, otherwise I will add this to the project backlog!
