-
-### Key Concepts: Parquet Processing
-
-**Why Parquet?**
-
-- Columnar format (efficient for analytics)
-- Compressed (smaller file sizes)
-- Typed data (enforces schema)
-- Fast reading (only read needed columns)
-
-**Reading Parquet:**
-
-```typescript
-const records = await parquetParser.parse(buffer, {
-  columns: ['product_id', 'product_name', 'price'], // Only read these columns
-  maxRows: 10000, // Limit for safety
-});
-```
-
-**Nested Field Mapping:**
-
-```typescript
-// Map flat field to nested structure
-'attributes.weight': {
-  source: 'weight',
-  resolver: (value) => ({
-    value: parseFloat(value),
-    unit: 'kg'
-  })
-}
-
-// Result: { attributes: { weight: { value: 10.5, unit: 'kg' } } }
-```
-
-## Scenario 3: SFTP JSON to Fluent Order Creation
-
-**Goal:** Process order JSON files from SFTP and create orders in Fluent Commerce.
-
-**Complexity:** Medium
-**Components:** SftpDataSource, JSONParserService, SchemaValidationService
-**Estimated Lines:** ~300 lines
-
-### Problem Statement
-
-Your e-commerce platform exports orders as JSON files to SFTP. Each order contains:
-
-- Order ID and customer details
-- Line items with SKUs and quantities
-- Shipping address
-- Pricing information
-
-You need to validate the structure and create orders in Fluent.
-
-### JSON Order Format
-
-```json
-{
-  "orderId": "ORD-12345",
-  "customer": {
-    "email": "customer@example.com",
-    "firstName": "John",
-    "lastName": "Doe",
-    "phone": "+1234567890"
-  },
-  "items": [
-    {
-      "sku": "PROD-001",
-      "quantity": 2,
-      "price": 29.99
-    }
-  ],
-  "total": 59.98,
-  "tax": 5.4,
-  "shippingAddress": {
-    "street": "123 Main St",

-  },
-});
-
-// Custom validation function for order data
-// Note: SchemaValidationService validates GraphQL payloads against Fluent schema
-// For JSON data validation, use custom logic or third-party libraries
-function validateOrder(order: any): { valid: boolean; errors: string[] } {
-  const errors: string[] = [];
-
-  if (!order.orderId) errors.push('orderId is required');
-  if (!order.customer?.email) errors.push('customer.email is required');
-  if (!order.items || order.items.length === 0) errors.push('items array is required');
-  if (order.total === undefined) errors.push('total is required');
-
-  return { valid: errors.length === 0, errors };

-    logger.error('Order processing failed:', error);
-    throw error;
-  }
-}
-
-// Execute
-processOrders();
-```
-
-### Key Concepts: JSON Processing and Validation
-
-**Schema-Based Validation:**
-
-```typescript
-const orderSchema = {
-  type: 'object',
-  required: ['orderId', 'customer', 'items'],
-  properties: {
-    orderId: { type: 'string' },
-    items: {
-      type: 'array',
-      minItems: 1,
-      items: {
-        required: ['sku', 'quantity'],
-        properties: {
-          sku: { type: 'string' },
-          quantity: { type: 'number', minimum: 1 },
-        },
-      },
-    },
-  },
-};
-
-// Custom validation function (JSON schema validation not built into SDK)
-function validateOrder(data: any) {
-  const errors: string[] = [];
-  if (!data.orderId) errors.push('orderId required');
-  if (!data.items?.length) errors.push('items array required');
-  return { valid: errors.length === 0, errors };
-}
-
-const result = validateOrder(orderData);
-if (!result.valid) {
-  console.error('Validation errors:', result.errors);
-}
-```
-
-**Nested Data Transformation:**
-
-```typescript
-// Transform nested items array
-items: orderData.items.map((item, index) => ({
-  ref: `${orderData.orderId}-${index + 1}`, // Generate item ref
-  productRef: item.sku,
-  quantity: item.quantity,
-  price: item.price,
-  totalPrice: item.quantity * item.price, // Calculate total
-  currency: 'USD',
-}));
-```
-
-**Error Reporting:**
-
-```typescript
-catch (error) {
-  // Create detailed error report
-  const errorReport = {
-    file: file.name,
-    error: error.message,
-    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
-    orderData: content.toString()  // Include original data
-  };
-
-  // Save error report for investigation
-  await sftpSource.uploadFile(
-    `/orders/errors/${file.name}.error.json`,
-    JSON.stringify(errorReport)
-  );
-}
-```

-## Comparison: Batch API vs GraphQL Mutations
-
-| Feature               | Batch API                     | GraphQL Mutations                          |
-| --------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
-| **Best For**          | High-volume inventory updates | Complex entity creation (orders, products) |
-| **Entity Types**      | INVENTORY only                | All entity types                           |
-| **Batch Size**        | Up to 10,000 records          | Typically 50-100 at a time                 |
-| **Field Flexibility** | Limited fields                | Full entity schema                         |
-| **Validation**        | Server-side                   | Schema validation                          |
-| **Performance**       | Optimized for bulk            | Better for complex data                    |
-| **Error Handling**    | Batch-level errors            | Detailed field-level errors                |

-## Practice Exercise
-
-**Challenge:** Add data enrichment to the product sync
-
-**Requirements:**
-
-1. Calculate product availability from external API
-2. Add image URLs from CDN (based on product ID)
-3. Add category hierarchy lookup
-4. Include custom attributes for searchability
-
-**Solution approach:**
-
-```typescript
-// Enrichment function
-async function enrichProduct(product: any) {
-  // 1. Fetch availability from external API
-  const availability = await fetchAvailability(product.ref);
-
-  // 2. Generate CDN image URLs
-  const images = [
-    `https://cdn.example.com/products/${product.ref}/main.jpg`,
-    `https://cdn.example.com/products/${product.ref}/thumb.jpg`,
-  ];
-
-  // 3. Lookup category hierarchy
-  const categoryPath = await lookupCategoryHierarchy(product.type);
-
-  return {
-    ...product,
-    availability,
-    images,
-    categories: categoryPath,
-    attributes: {
-      ...product.attributes,
-      searchable: true,
-      enrichedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
-    },
-  };
-}
-
-// Apply enrichment
-const enrichedProducts = await Promise.all(products.map(p => enrichProduct(p)));
-```

+
+### Key Concepts: Parquet Processing
+
+**Why Parquet?**
+
+- Columnar format (efficient for analytics)
+- Compressed (smaller file sizes)
+- Typed data (enforces schema)
+- Fast reading (only read needed columns)
+
+**Reading Parquet:**
+
+```typescript
+const records = await parquetParser.parse(buffer, {
+  columns: ['product_id', 'product_name', 'price'], // Only read these columns
+  maxRows: 10000, // Limit for safety
+});
+```
+
+**Nested Field Mapping:**
+
+```typescript
+// Map flat field to nested structure
+'attributes.weight': {
+  source: 'weight',
+  resolver: (value) => ({
+    value: parseFloat(value),
+    unit: 'kg'
+  })
+}
+
+// Result: { attributes: { weight: { value: 10.5, unit: 'kg' } } }
+```
+
+## Scenario 3: SFTP JSON to Fluent Order Creation
+
+**Goal:** Process order JSON files from SFTP and create orders in Fluent Commerce.
+
+**Complexity:** Medium
+**Components:** SftpDataSource, JSONParserService, SchemaValidationService
+**Estimated Lines:** ~300 lines
+
+### Problem Statement
+
+Your e-commerce platform exports orders as JSON files to SFTP. Each order contains:
+
+- Order ID and customer details
+- Line items with SKUs and quantities
+- Shipping address
+- Pricing information
+
+You need to validate the structure and create orders in Fluent.
+
+### JSON Order Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "orderId": "ORD-12345",
+  "customer": {
+    "email": "customer@example.com",
+    "firstName": "John",
+    "lastName": "Doe",
+    "phone": "+1234567890"
+  },
+  "items": [
+    {
+      "sku": "PROD-001",
+      "quantity": 2,
+      "price": 29.99
+    }
+  ],
+  "total": 59.98,
+  "tax": 5.4,
+  "shippingAddress": {
+    "street": "123 Main St",
+    "city": "New York",

+```
+
+### Key Concepts: JSON Processing and Validation
+
+**Schema-Based Validation:**
+
+```typescript
+const orderSchema = {
+  type: 'object',
+  required: ['orderId', 'customer', 'items'],
+  properties: {
+    orderId: { type: 'string' },
+    items: {
+      type: 'array',
+      minItems: 1,
+      items: {
+        required: ['sku', 'quantity'],
+        properties: {
+          sku: { type: 'string' },
+          quantity: { type: 'number', minimum: 1 },
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  },
+};
+
+// Custom validation function (JSON schema validation not built into SDK)
+function validateOrder(data: any) {
+  const errors: string[] = [];
+  if (!data.orderId) errors.push('orderId required');
+  if (!data.items?.length) errors.push('items array required');
+  return { valid: errors.length === 0, errors };
+}
+
+const result = validateOrder(orderData);
+if (!result.valid) {
+  console.error('Validation errors:', result.errors);
+}
+```
+
+**Nested Data Transformation:**
+
+```typescript
+// Transform nested items array
+items: orderData.items.map((item, index) => ({
+  ref: `${orderData.orderId}-${index + 1}`, // Generate item ref
+  productRef: item.sku,
+  quantity: item.quantity,
+  price: item.price,
+  totalPrice: item.quantity * item.price, // Calculate total
+  currency: 'USD',
+}));
+```
+
+**Error Reporting:**
+
+```typescript
+catch (error) {
+  // Create detailed error report
+  const errorReport = {
+    file: file.name,
+    error: error.message,
+    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
+    orderData: content.toString()  // Include original data
+  };
+
+  // Save error report for investigation
+  await sftpSource.uploadFile(
+    `/orders/errors/${file.name}.error.json`,
+    JSON.stringify(errorReport)
+  );
+}
+```
+
+## Comparison: Batch API vs GraphQL Mutations
+
+| Feature               | Batch API                     | GraphQL Mutations                          |
+| --------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
+| **Best For**          | High-volume inventory updates | Complex entity creation (orders, products) |
+| **Entity Types**      | INVENTORY only                | All entity types                           |
+| **Batch Size**        | Up to 10,000 records          | Typically 50-100 at a time                 |
+| **Field Flexibility** | Limited fields                | Full entity schema                         |
+| **Validation**        | Server-side                   | Schema validation                          |
+| **Performance**       | Optimized for bulk            | Better for complex data                    |
+| **Error Handling**    | Batch-level errors            | Detailed field-level errors                |
+
+## Practice Exercise
+
+**Challenge:** Add data enrichment to the product sync
+
+**Requirements:**
+
+1. Calculate product availability from external API
+2. Add image URLs from CDN (based on product ID)
+3. Add category hierarchy lookup
+4. Include custom attributes for searchability
+
+**Solution approach:**
+
+```typescript
+// Enrichment function
+async function enrichProduct(product: any) {
+  // 1. Fetch availability from external API
+  const availability = await fetchAvailability(product.ref);
+
+  // 2. Generate CDN image URLs
+  const images = [
+    `https://cdn.example.com/products/${product.ref}/main.jpg`,
+    `https://cdn.example.com/products/${product.ref}/thumb.jpg`,
+  ];
+
+  // 3. Lookup category hierarchy
+  const categoryPath = await lookupCategoryHierarchy(product.type);
+
+  return {
+    ...product,
+    availability,
+    images,
+    categories: categoryPath,
+    attributes: {
+      ...product.attributes,
+      searchable: true,
+      enrichedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
+    },
+  };
+}
+
+// Apply enrichment
+const enrichedProducts = await Promise.all(products.map(p => enrichProduct(p)));
+```
+
+## Key Takeaways
+
+- 🎯 Parquet format is efficient for large datasets (columnar, compressed)
+- 🎯 JSON Schema validation catches structural errors early
+- 🎯 Nested data transformations require careful mapping
+- 🎯 GraphQL mutations provide full flexibility for complex entities
+- 🎯 Enrichment adds value (calculated fields, external data)
+- 🎯 Error reports should include context for debugging
