Parallel Chunk: Allow Variably Table Specs and / or add option for more table ports

Feedback & Ideas

Hi,

using the Parallel Chunk Nodes it can be tricky to ensure table specs are identical. I once found an approach but frankly speaking, that adds quite some maintenance overhead i.e. when the table specs change on purpose.

Therefore, I’d like to suggest to either allow changing table specifications, a more blunt approach, or, similar to the pretty much all loop end nodes allow to add more ports.

I ran into this as well. Lucky for me, all my nodes I was running in parallel were streamable, but that’s not the case all the time.

I would say that all loop ends should have the option to allow for changing table specs. :slight_smile:
