Empty

Synthesizes nothing of its own: for each source sample it emits one output sample with no added columns, so the resulting dataset holds exactly the samples produced by the data source. Use it when those samples already form the complete dataset and no further synthesis is needed. For any transformation of the source samples, use one of the other synthesizers such as Template or Python.

Examples

Example: Passthrough. The data source fully defines the dataset, so the empty synthesizer emits the source samples unchanged.

definition:
  data_source:
    type: "dataset_samples"
    dataset_key: "<< config.countries_dataset_key >>"
  synthesizers:
    - type: "empty"
