Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-1066:
-----------------------------------------
If I read Ahmet's post correctly, he is in favor of this behavior being
optional and explicit. This is my opinion too -- it's already hard enough
sometimes to figure out what is happening without ManifoldCF silently doing
things for you in the background.
I think therefore that putting this functionality in the "metadata transformer"
transformation connector makes the most sense. To make it as simple as
possible, the "remove empty fields" feature can be on by default, but it should
be an option that the user can see and disable if desired. Furthermore, adding
the transformer to the pipeline should by default, with no other changes,
perform exactly this functionality and nothing more. What do you think?
