action(s) to execute on each data element

filter(s) used to select data to process

if data elements should be unpacked or unwrapped from (id, data, tag) tuples

column index to select if element is a tuple, defaults to all

merge mode for joining multi-action outputs, defaults to hstack

action to execute before processing

action to execute after processing

sets concurrency method when execute instance available valid values: “thread” for thread-based concurrency, “process” for process-based concurrency

if one-to-many data transformations should be enabled, defaults to True

additional keyword arguments

    Creates a new task. A task defines two methods, type of data it accepts and the action to execute
    for each data element. Action is a callable function or list of callable functions.
    Args:
        action: action(s) to execute on each data element
        select: filter(s) used to select data to process
        unpack: if data elements should be unpacked or unwrapped from (id, data, tag) tuples
        column: column index to select if element is a tuple, defaults to all
        merge: merge mode for joining multi-action outputs, defaults to hstack
        initialize: action to execute before processing
        finalize: action to execute after processing
        concurrency: sets concurrency method when execute instance available
                     valid values: “thread” for thread-based concurrency, “process” for process-based concurrency
        onetomany: if one-to-many data transformations should be enabled, defaults to True
        kwargs: additional keyword arguments
