Thanks Scott,
Ye the tableau nodes do need a hyper reader. Looking at the Hyper API documentation it should be relatively easy to write, hence why i thought it would make a good project for me to dip my toes in Extension writing in Knime.
I think to be able to do this without going into the knime sdk we would need a java snippet version that is not serialised (if i got the nomenclature right??? basically works like the python node…) I think someone brought this up in another thread.
I managed to set up the Knime SDK and am working my way through the numberformatter example.
I have an additional question i posted in the dev category as to where the knime tableau extension is located so i could extend that, rather than create it in isolation.
Alternatively though, i can create and send source code to knime for validation and inclusion, either way brain is hurting which means i must be doing something right…
