I can see how that would happen, but could that not be controlled with a ForEach Snap that serializes the processing?
The use case you are thinking of would require a child pipeline due to the race condition, however it is not a requirement for the pipeline I am developing as (a) there will only be one file, and (b) it is acceptable to stop processing and throw an error if there is more than one file.
Hmm, I’m not quite sure what you mean here. The PipeExec snap basically obsoletes the ForEach snap.
That’s not going to be true in the general case. So, we can’t add something so error prone and hope that people only use it in the right situations.
I believe that this would be very helpful if added to the “Parameters and Fields” documentation.
