Fix the Python Extension Input node in 18.5

Modeler 18.5 The new option for writing native Python code (pandas-like) in Extension nodes is incomplete because the Extension Input node does not allow assigning a dataframe for the data; instead, you must use the Extension Input node solely fo...

Extension Output Node for Native Python with Graph Output tab like R and Python for Spark

We would like to create a graph in an Extension Output Node using Native Python libraries such as matplotlib or seaborn. Currently, when we connect to the Modeler Server from the Modeler Client and run the node, the graph is not output and the str...

Support reading a CLOB field at least from DB2

Currently we have to cast a CLOB field as VARCHAR in order to read it into modeler from a DB2 source, and then we only get the first N characters. Please support reading entire CLOB as a string of size at least 256K characters or preferably more o...

Re-usable Supernodes -- multiple instances of same one can occur in stream but modifying it immediately modifies all instances. Like a callable Function/Subroutine/Macro in programming languages.

Often we want to perform the same set of operations ("sub-flow") in multiple places in the stream, e.g. for similar/parallel data either from different data sources, or destined for different output or export nodes. It is essential that the *same*...

Manipulating a custom node from a stream script

want to manipulate a custom node from a stream script. Currently, it is possible to create a custom node from a stream script using "createAt", but it is not possible to set the value using "setPropertyValue". Since custom nodes cannot be manipula...

Custom Nodes with native Python (not PySpark)

In Modeler 18.5, there are Extension nodes which run native Python scripting (Pandas-based), but not Custom Nodes. In previous versions, the Extension nodes allows PySpark scripting AND Custom Nodes with PySpark. It would be nice to have the abili...

Enabling SQL Pushback for Sampling Nodes in Google BigQuery

We would like to have sampling nodes (random % ) Pushback enabled when connecting to Google BigQuery. When Pushback is disabled in Google BigQuery, the database write process becomes very slow. We would like it to be enabled for frequently used pr...
