Explain the process of incremental processing in a data pipeline. How does it differ from batch processing, and what are the key considerations for implementing incremental processing effectively?

Simulated

Incremental processing involves processing only new or changed data since the last run, which is more complex but can be more efficient than batch processing.

76.2%

Incremental processing is identical to batch processing but runs more frequently, which can lead to increased resource usage.

7.9%

Incremental processing requires no special considerations as it automatically detects changes in the data, making it simpler to implement than batch processing.

11.9%

Incremental processing should be avoided in favor of batch processing due to its complexity and potential for data inconsistencies.
