Hi Sreelakshmi, Obviously, batch processing has some advantages over mutate requests: you can use temporary IDs, it handles transient errors for you, overall setup is simpler, etc. But uploading the same generation (1.2M keywords) with mutate requests will take much less the 9 hours.
So could you advise in which cases batch processing should be preferred over "mutate" requests and vice versa? For which dataset sizes batch uploading is recommended - over 100K items, 1M, 10M?
