Default: 20
profiling.offset
integer
Offset in documents to profile. By default, uses no offset.

boolean
Default: True

Default: False
profiling.use_sampling
boolean
Whether to profile column level stats on sample of table. Only BigQuery and Snowflake support this. If enabled, profiling is done on rows sampled from table. Sampling is not done for smaller tables.
Default: True
profiling.operation_config
OperationConfig
Experimental feature. To specify operation configs.
profiling.operation_config.lower_freq_profile_enabled
boolean
Whether to do profiling at lower freq or not. This does not do any scheduling just adds additional checks to when not to run profiling.
Default: False
profiling.operation_config.profile_date_of_month
integer
Number between 1 to 31 for date of month (both inclusive). If not specified, defaults to Nothing and this field does not take affect.
profiling.operation_config.profile_day_of_week
integer
Number between 0 to 6 for day of week (both inclusive). 0 is Monday and 6 is Sunday. If not specified, defaults to Nothing and this field does not take affect.
profiling.tags_to_ignore_sampling
array
Fixed list of tags to ignore sampling. If not specified, tables will be sampled based on use_sampling.

string
stateful_ingestion
StatefulIngestionConfig
