Introduction

This project offers an advanced dataset processing engine capable of merging multiple sources, removing duplicates, and transforming data efficiently. It’s built for developers, data engineers, and analysts dealing with complex datasets at scale.

Why It Matters

• Handles millions of dataset items with constant memory usage.
• Processes data up to 20x faster by parallelizing workloads.
• Enables easy merging from multiple datasets in a single pass.
• Provides deep deduplication for nested data structures.
• Supports flexible pre- and post-transformation logic.

Features

Feature	Description
High-Speed Merging	Combine multiple datasets simultaneously without losing data order.
Advanced Deduplication	Identify and remove duplicates across multiple fields, even with nested arrays or objects.
Custom Transformations	Use pre- and post-deduplication transformation functions for maximum control.
Memory Efficiency	Near-constant memory usage even with huge datasets (10M+ items).
KV Store Integration	Save merged and processed results directly into key-value store format.
Migration-Proof Processing	Workload persistence ensures no duplicate processing in reruns.

What Data This Scraper Extracts

Field Name	Field Description
datasetId	Identifier of the dataset being processed.
datasetOffset	Batch offset position in the dataset.
dedupFields	Fields used for identifying duplicate items.
mergedData	Array of merged dataset objects.
transformedData	Final array of data after transformation.
duplicateCount	Number of detected and removed duplicates.
recordCount	Total records processed during the run.

Use Cases

• Data engineers use it to unify results from multiple crawlers, ensuring no duplicate entries make it to production.
• Analysts use it to clean and harmonize diverse data sources before running analytics or visualization.
• Businesses rely on it to consolidate customer or product datasets without inflating storage.
• Developers integrate it into ETL pipelines for scalable and automated data cleanup.
• Researchers use it to prepare large experimental datasets efficiently.

FAQs

Q1: How does it handle duplicate detection across multiple fields? It concatenates selected field values (even nested ones via JSON.stringify) to form a unique signature. Only the first occurrence of each unique combination is retained.

Q2: Can transformations change the number of items? Yes — transformation functions can filter, add, or modify items freely before or after deduplication.

Q3: What happens if a dataset fails mid-run? All persisted steps are saved, so the next run resumes from the last completed stage without reprocessing prior data.

Q4: Does it maintain the order of datasets when merging? Yes, the merge process retains the order in which datasets are provided.
