TuumIO Data Node

How TuumIO Data Node works?

The TuumIO Data Node (TDN) is responsible for storing and exchanging data files within the TuumIO Network. It can convert external data files into events, and events into external data files. When receiving data files, the TuumIO Data Node extracts and transforms the data, and then creates events. Event handlers can be created in TuumIO Protocol to manage the events generated by the TuumIO Data Node.

Data definition file

The data definition file (DDF) defines the model and structure for organizing data in the TDN. This file is used in TDN to process incoming data files and generate events for distribution to TuumIO Nodes. The DDF and raw CSV files are uploaded to the environment repository for processing. For more information, see Updating TDN.

The following example shows data definition in ddf/us-doctors-sample.json.

Example:
