About Containers, Properties and scale in CDF Records
As illustrated in our documentation, the CDF Records feature uses a Data Modeling container as the schema definition for record data. I.e. you have to create a space and container first, before you start loading Records to a Stream. (Note: It is possible to use multiple containers together to define the schema for a single record. This may make sense in the context of, for instance, a Work Order record).However, at the moment when I write this, using the container based schema represents a somewhat confusing “limitation” when it comes to the size of a container vs the size of a record (number of properties). The way we have implemented this capability in CDF Records at the moment - using the DM containers - comes with a side-effect: The number of properties you can have for a single container is, as of right now, the same as it is in your Data Modeling service.The limits we're documenting in terms of properties for CDF Records are linked to the properties containing data within a singl
