-    """
-    DESCRIPTION:
-        ReadNOS() function enables access to external files in JSON, CSV, or Parquet format.
-        You must have the EXECUTE FUNCTION privilege on TD_SYSFNLIB.READ_NOS.
-
-
-    PARAMETERS:
-        data:
-            Optional Argument.
-            Specifies the input teradataml DataFrame.
-            Types: teradataml DataFrame
-
-        location:
-            Optional Argument.
-            Specifies the location value, which is a Uniform Resource Identifier
-            (URI) pointing to the data in the external object storage system. The
-            location value includes the following components:
-            Amazon S3:
-                /connector/bucket.endpoint/[key_prefix].
-            Azure Blob storage and Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2:
-                /connector/container.endpoint/[key_prefix].
-            Google Cloud Storage:
-                /connector/endpoint/bucket/[key_prefix].
-
-            connector:
-                Identifies the type of external storage system where the data is located.
-                Teradata requires the storage location to start with the following for
-                all external storage locations:
-                    * Amazon S3 storage location must begin with /S3 or /s3
-                    * Azure Blob storage location (including Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2
-                      in Blob Interop Mode) must begin with /AZ or /az.
-                    * Google Cloud Storage location must begin with /GS or /gs.
-
-            storage-account:
-                Used by Azure. The Azure storage account contains your
-                Azure storage data objects.
-
-            endpoint:
-                A URL that identifies the system-specific entry point for
-                the external object storage system.
-
-            bucket (Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage) or container (Azure Blob
-            storage and Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2):
-                A container that logically groups stored objects in the
-                external storage system.
-
-            key_prefix:
-                Identifies one or more objects in the logical organization of
-                the bucket data. Because it is a key prefix, not an actual
-                directory path, the key prefix may match one or more objects
-                in the external storage. For example, the key prefix
-                "/fabrics/cotton/colors/b/" would match objects
-                /fabrics/cotton/colors/blue, /fabrics/cotton/colors/brown, and
-                /fabrics/cotton/colors/black. If there are organization levels below
-                those, such as /fabrics/cotton/colors/blue/shirts, the same key
-                prefix would gather those objects too.
-                Note:
-                    Vantage validates only the first file it encounters from the
-                    location key prefix.
-
-            For example, this location value might specify all objects on an
-            Amazon cloud storage system for the month of December, 2001:
-            location = "/S3/YOUR-BUCKET.s3.amazonaws.com/csv/US-Crimes/csv-files/2001/Dec/"
-                connector: S3
-                bucket: YOUR-BUCKET
-                endpoint: s3.amazonaws.com
-                key_prefix: csv/US-Crimes/csv-files/2001/Dec/
-
-            Following location could specify an individual storage object (or file), Day1.csv:
-            location = "/S3/YOUR-BUCKET.s3.amazonaws.com/csv/US-Crimes/csv-files/2001/Dec/Day1.csv"
-                connector: S3
-                bucket: YOUR-BUCKET
-                endpoint: s3.amazonaws.com
-                key_prefix: csv/US-Crimes/csv-files/2001/Dec/Day1.csv
-
-            Following location specifies an entire container in an Azure external
-            object store (Azure Blob storage or Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2).
-            The container may contain multiple file objects:
-            location = "/AZ/YOUR-STORAGE-ACCOUNT.blob.core.windows.net/nos-csv-data"
-                connector: AZ
-                bucket: YOUR-STORAGE-ACCOUNT
-                endpoint: blob.core.windows.net
-                key_prefix: nos-csv-data
-
-            This is an example of a Google Cloud Storage location:
-            location = "/gs/storage.googleapis.com/YOUR-BUCKET/CSVDATA/RIVERS/rivers.csv"
-                connector: GS
-                bucket: YOUR-BUCKET
-                endpoint: storage.googleapis.com,
-                key_prefix: CSVDATA/RIVERS/rivers.csv
-            Types: str
-
-        authorization:
-            Optional Argument.
-            Specifies the authorization for accessing the external storage.
-            Following are the options for using "authorization":
-            * Passing access id and key as dictionary:
-                authorization = {'Access_ID': 'access_id', 'Access_Key': 'secret_key'}
-            * Passing access id and key as string in JSON format:
-                authorization = '{"Access_ID":"access_id", "Access_Key":"secret_key"}'
-            * Using Authorization Object:
-                On any platform, authorization object can be specified as
-                authorization = "[DatabaseName.]AuthorizationObjectName" 
-                EXECUTE privilege on AuthorizationObjectName is needed.
-            
-            Below table specifies the USER (identification) and PASSWORD (secret_key) 
-            for accessing external storage. The following table shows the supported 
-            credentials for USER and PASSWORD (used in the CREATE AUTHORIZATION SQL command):

-            When accessing GCS, Analytics Database uses either the S3-compatible connector or 
-            the native Google connector, depending on the user credentials.
-            Notes:
-                * If using AWS IAM credentials, "authorization" can be omitted.
-                * If S3 user account requires the use of physical or virtual security, 
-                  session token can be used with Access_ID and Access_Key in this syntax:
-                      authorization = {"Access_ID":"access_id", 
-                                       "Access_Key":"secret_key",
-                                       "Session_Token":"session_token"}
-                  In which, the session token can be obtained using the AWS CLI. 
-                  For example: 
-                      aws sts get-session-token
-            Types: str or dict
-
-        buffer_size:
-            Optional Argument.
-            Specifies the size of the network buffer to allocate when retrieving
-            data from the external storage repository. 16 MB, which is the maximum
-            value.
-            Default Value: 16
-            Types: int
-
-        return_type:
-            Optional Argument.
-            Specifies the format in which data is returned.
-            Permitted Values:
-                * NOSREAD_RECORD:
-                    Returns one row for each external record along with its metadata.
-                    Access external records by specifying one of the following:
-                        - Input teradataml DataFrame, location, and teradataml DataFrame
-                          on an empty table. For CSV, you can include a schema definition.
-                        - Input teradataml DataFrame with a row for each external file. For
-                          CSV, this method does not support a schema definition.
-
-                    For an empty single-column input table, do the following:
-                        - Define an input teradataml DataFrame with a single column, Payload,
-                          with the appropriate data type:
-                            JSON and CSV
-                          This column determines the output Payload column return type.
-                        - Specify the filepath in the "location" argument.
-
-                    For a multiple-column input table, define an input teradataml
-                    DataFrame with the following columns:
-                        +------------------+-------------------------------------+
-                        | Column Name      | Data Types                          |
-                        +------------------+-------------------------------------+
-                        | Location         | VARCHAR(2048) CHARACTER SET UNICODE |
-                        +------------------+-------------------------------------+
-                        | ObjectVersionID  | VARCHAR(1024) CHARACTER SET UNICODE |
-                        +------------------+-------------------------------------+
-                        | OffsetIntoObject | BIGINT                              |
-                        +------------------+-------------------------------------+
-                        | ObjectLength     | BIGINT                              |
-                        +------------------+-------------------------------------+
-                        | Payload          | JSON                                |
-                        +------------------+-------------------------------------+
-                        | CSV              | VARCHAR                             |
-                        +------------------+-------------------------------------+
-                    This teradataml DataFrame can be populated using the output of the
-                    'NOSREAD_KEYS' return type.
-
-                * NOSREAD_KEYS:
-                    Retrieve the list of files from the path specified in the "location" argument.
-                    A schema definition is not necessary.
-                    'NOSREAD_KEYS' returns Location, ObjectVersionID, ObjectTimeStamp,
-                    and ObjectLength (size of external file).
-
-                * NOSREAD_PARQUET_SCHEMA:
-                    Returns information about the Parquet data schema. If you are using
-                    the "full_scan" option, use 'NOSREAD_PARQUET_SCHEMA'; otherwise you can use
-                    'NOSREAD_SCHEMA' to get information about the Parquet schema. For information
-                    about the mapping between Parquet data types and Teradata data types, see
-                    Parquet External Files in Teradata Vantage - SQL Data Definition Language
-                    Syntax and Examples.
-
-                * NOSREAD_SCHEMA:
-                     Returns the name and data type of each column of the file specified in
-                     the "location" argument. Schema format can be JSON, CSV, or Parquet.
-            Default Value: "NOSREAD_RECORD"
-            Types: str
-
-        sample_perc:
-            Optional Argument.
-            Specifies the percentage of rows to retrieve from the external
-            storage repository when "return_type" is 'NOSREAD_RECORD'. The valid
-            range of values is from 0.0 to 1.0, where 1.0 represents 100%
-            of the rows.
-            Default Value: 1.0
-            Types: float
-
-        stored_as:
-            Optional Argument.
-            Specifies the formatting style of the external data.
-            Permitted Values:
-                * PARQUET-
-                    The external data is formatted as Parquet. This is a
-                    required parameter for Parquet data.
-                * TEXTFILE-
-                    The external data uses a text-based format, such as
-                    CSV or JSON.
-            Default Value: "TEXTFILE"
-            Types: str
-
-        full_scan:
-            Optional Argument.
-            Specifies whether ReadNOS() function scans columns of variable length
-            types (CHAR, VARCHAR, BYTE, VARBYTE, JSON, and BSON) to discover the
-            maximum length.
-            When set to True, the size of variable length data is determined
-            from the Parquet data.
-            Note:
-                Choosing this value can impact performance because all variable length
-                data type columns in each Parquet file at the location must be scanned
-                to assess the value having the greatest length.
-            When set to False, variable length field sizes are assigned the
-            Vantage maximum value for the particular data type.
-            Note:
-                "full_scan" is only used with a "return_type" of 'NOSREAD_PARQUET_SCHEMA'.
-            Default Value: False
-            Types: bool
-
-        manifest:
-            Optional Argument.
-            Specifies whether the location value points to a manifest file (a
-            file containing a list of files to read) or object name. The object
-            name can include the full path or a partial path. It must identify a
-            single file containing the manifest.
-            Note:
-                Individual entries within the manifest file must show
-                complete paths.
-            Below is an example of a manifest file that contains a list of locations 
-            in JSON format.
-            {
-              "entries": [
-                    {"url":"s3://nos-core-us-east-1/UNICODE/JSON/mln-key/data-10/data-8_9_02-10.json"},

-                    {"url":"s3://nos-core-us-east-1/UNICODE/JSON/mln-key/data-10/data-10-01/data-8_9_02-102.json"},
-                    {"url":"s3://nos-core-us-east-1/UNICODE/JSON/mln-key/data-10/data-10-01/data-8_9_02-103.json"}
-               ]
-            }
-            Default Value: False
-            Types: bool
-
-        row_format:
-            Optional Argument.
-            Specifies the encoding format of the external row.
-            For example:
-                row_format = {'field_delimiter': ',', 'record_delimiter': '\\n', 'character_set': 'LATIN'}
-            If string value is used, JSON format must be used to specify the row format.
-            For example:
-                row_format = '{"field_delimiter": ",", "record_delimiter": "\\n", "character_set": "LATIN"}'
-            Format can include only the three keys shown above. Key names and values 
-            are case-specific, except for the value for "character_set", which can 
-            use any combination of letter cases.
-            The character set specified in "row_format" must be compatible with the character 
-            set of the Payload column.
-            Do not specify "row_format" for Parquet format data.
-            For a JSON column, these are the default values:
-                UNICODE:
-                    row_format = {"record_delimiter":"\\n", "character_set":"UTF8"}
-                LATIN:
-                    row_format = {"record_delimiter":"\\n", "character_set":"LATIN"}
-            For a CSV column, these are the default values:
-                UNICODE:
-                    row_format = '{"character_set":"UTF8"}'
-                LATIN:
-                    row_format = '{"character_set":"LATIN"}'
-            User can specify the following options:
-                field_delimiter: The default is "," (comma). User can also specify a
-                                 custom field delimiter, such as tab "\\t".
-                record_delimiter: New line feed character: "\\n". A line feed
-                                  is the only acceptable record delimiter.
-                character_set: "UTF8" or "LATIN". If you do not specify a "row_format"
-                               or payload column, Vantage assumes UTF8 Unicode.
-            Types: str or dict
-
-        header:
-            Optional Argument.
-            Specifies whether the first row of data in an input CSV file is
-            interpreted as column headings for the subsequent rows of data. Use
-            this parameter only when a CSV input file is not associated with a
-            separate schema object that defines columns for the CSV data.
-            Default Value: True
-            Types: bool
-
-        **generic_arguments:
-            Specifies the generic keyword arguments SQLE functions accept.
-            Below are the generic keyword arguments:

+    DESCRIPTION:
+        ReadNOS() function enables access to external files in JSON, CSV, or Parquet format.
+        You must have the EXECUTE FUNCTION privilege on TD_SYSFNLIB.READ_NOS.
+
+
+    PARAMETERS:
+        data:
+            Optional Argument.
+            Specifies the input teradataml DataFrame.
+            Types: teradataml DataFrame
+
+        location:
+            Optional Argument.
+            Specifies the location value, which is a Uniform Resource Identifier
+            (URI) pointing to the data in the external object storage system. The
+            location value includes the following components:
+            Amazon S3:
+                /connector/bucket.endpoint/[key_prefix].
+            Azure Blob storage and Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2:
+                /connector/container.endpoint/[key_prefix].
+            Google Cloud Storage:
+                /connector/endpoint/bucket/[key_prefix].
+
+            connector:
+                Identifies the type of external storage system where the data is located.
+                Teradata requires the storage location to start with the following for
+                all external storage locations:
+                    * Amazon S3 storage location must begin with /S3 or /s3
+                    * Azure Blob storage location (including Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2
+                      in Blob Interop Mode) must begin with /AZ or /az.
+                    * Google Cloud Storage location must begin with /GS or /gs.
+
+            storage-account:
+                Used by Azure. The Azure storage account contains your
+                Azure storage data objects.
+
+            endpoint:
+                A URL that identifies the system-specific entry point for
+                the external object storage system.
+
+            bucket (Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage) or container (Azure Blob
+            storage and Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2):
+                A container that logically groups stored objects in the
+                external storage system.
+
+            key_prefix:
+                Identifies one or more objects in the logical organization of
+                the bucket data. Because it is a key prefix, not an actual
+                directory path, the key prefix may match one or more objects
+                in the external storage. For example, the key prefix
+                "/fabrics/cotton/colors/b/" would match objects
+                /fabrics/cotton/colors/blue, /fabrics/cotton/colors/brown, and
+                /fabrics/cotton/colors/black. If there are organization levels below
+                those, such as /fabrics/cotton/colors/blue/shirts, the same key
+                prefix would gather those objects too.
+                Note:
+                    Vantage validates only the first file it encounters from the
+                    location key prefix.
+
+            For example, this location value might specify all objects on an
+            Amazon cloud storage system for the month of December, 2001:
+            location = "/S3/YOUR-BUCKET.s3.amazonaws.com/csv/US-Crimes/csv-files/2001/Dec/"
+                connector: S3
+                bucket: YOUR-BUCKET
+                endpoint: s3.amazonaws.com
+                key_prefix: csv/US-Crimes/csv-files/2001/Dec/
+
+            Following location could specify an individual storage object (or file), Day1.csv:
+            location = "/S3/YOUR-BUCKET.s3.amazonaws.com/csv/US-Crimes/csv-files/2001/Dec/Day1.csv"
+                connector: S3
+                bucket: YOUR-BUCKET
+                endpoint: s3.amazonaws.com
+                key_prefix: csv/US-Crimes/csv-files/2001/Dec/Day1.csv
+
+            Following location specifies an entire container in an Azure external
+            object store (Azure Blob storage or Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2).
+            The container may contain multiple file objects:
+            location = "/AZ/YOUR-STORAGE-ACCOUNT.blob.core.windows.net/nos-csv-data"
+                connector: AZ
+                bucket: YOUR-STORAGE-ACCOUNT
+                endpoint: blob.core.windows.net
+                key_prefix: nos-csv-data
+
+            This is an example of a Google Cloud Storage location:
+            location = "/gs/storage.googleapis.com/YOUR-BUCKET/CSVDATA/RIVERS/rivers.csv"
+                connector: GS
+                bucket: YOUR-BUCKET
+                endpoint: storage.googleapis.com,
+                key_prefix: CSVDATA/RIVERS/rivers.csv
+            Types: str
+
+        authorization:
+            Optional Argument.
+            Specifies the authorization for accessing the external storage.
+            Following are the options for using "authorization":
+            * Passing access id and key as dictionary:
+                authorization = {'Access_ID': 'access_id', 'Access_Key': 'secret_key'}
+            * Passing access id and key as string in JSON format:
+                authorization = '{"Access_ID":"access_id", "Access_Key":"secret_key"}'
+            * Using Authorization Object:
+                On any platform, authorization object can be specified as
+                authorization = "[DatabaseName.]AuthorizationObjectName" 
+                EXECUTE privilege on AuthorizationObjectName is needed.
+            
+            Below table specifies the USER (identification) and PASSWORD (secret_key) 
+            for accessing external storage. The following table shows the supported 
+            credentials for USER and PASSWORD (used in the CREATE AUTHORIZATION SQL command):

+            When accessing GCS, Analytics Database uses either the S3-compatible connector or 
+            the native Google connector, depending on the user credentials.
+            Notes:
+                * If using AWS IAM credentials, "authorization" can be omitted.
+                * If S3 user account requires the use of physical or virtual security, 
+                  session token can be used with Access_ID and Access_Key in this syntax:
+                      authorization = {"Access_ID":"access_id", 
+                                       "Access_Key":"secret_key",

+                  In which, the session token can be obtained using the AWS CLI. 
+                  For example: 
+                      aws sts get-session-token

+            Specifies the size of the network buffer to allocate when retrieving
+            data from the external storage repository. 16 MB, which is the maximum
+            value.
+            Default Value: 16
+            Types: int
+
+        return_type:
+            Optional Argument.
+            Specifies the format in which data is returned.
+            Permitted Values:
+                * NOSREAD_RECORD:
+                    Returns one row for each external record along with its metadata.
+                    Access external records by specifying one of the following:
+                        - Input teradataml DataFrame, location, and teradataml DataFrame
+                          on an empty table. For CSV, you can include a schema definition.
+                        - Input teradataml DataFrame with a row for each external file. For
+                          CSV, this method does not support a schema definition.
+
+                    For an empty single-column input table, do the following:
+                        - Define an input teradataml DataFrame with a single column, Payload,
+                          with the appropriate data type:
+                            JSON and CSV
+                          This column determines the output Payload column return type.
+                        - Specify the filepath in the "location" argument.
+
+                    For a multiple-column input table, define an input teradataml
+                    DataFrame with the following columns:
+                        +------------------+-------------------------------------+

+                    This teradataml DataFrame can be populated using the output of the
+                    'NOSREAD_KEYS' return type.
+
+                * NOSREAD_KEYS:
+                    Retrieve the list of files from the path specified in the "location" argument.
+                    A schema definition is not necessary.
+                    'NOSREAD_KEYS' returns Location, ObjectVersionID, ObjectTimeStamp,
+                    and ObjectLength (size of external file).
+
+                * NOSREAD_PARQUET_SCHEMA:
+                    Returns information about the Parquet data schema. If you are using
+                    the "full_scan" option, use 'NOSREAD_PARQUET_SCHEMA'; otherwise you can use
+                    'NOSREAD_SCHEMA' to get information about the Parquet schema. For information
+                    about the mapping between Parquet data types and Teradata data types, see
+                    Parquet External Files in Teradata Vantage - SQL Data Definition Language
+                    Syntax and Examples.
+
+                * NOSREAD_SCHEMA:
+                     Returns the name and data type of each column of the file specified in
+                     the "location" argument. Schema format can be JSON, CSV, or Parquet.
+            Default Value: "NOSREAD_RECORD"
+            Types: str
+
+        sample_perc:
+            Optional Argument.
+            Specifies the percentage of rows to retrieve from the external
+            storage repository when "return_type" is 'NOSREAD_RECORD'. The valid
+            range of values is from 0.0 to 1.0, where 1.0 represents 100%
+            of the rows.
+            Default Value: 1.0
+            Types: float
+
+        stored_as:
+            Optional Argument.
+            Specifies the formatting style of the external data.
+            Permitted Values:
+                * PARQUET-
+                    The external data is formatted as Parquet. This is a
+                    required parameter for Parquet data.
+                * TEXTFILE-
+                    The external data uses a text-based format, such as
+                    CSV or JSON.
+            Default Value: "TEXTFILE"
+            Types: str
+
+        full_scan:
+            Optional Argument.
+            Specifies whether ReadNOS() function scans columns of variable length
+            types (CHAR, VARCHAR, BYTE, VARBYTE, JSON, and BSON) to discover the
+            maximum length.
+            When set to True, the size of variable length data is determined
+            from the Parquet data.
+            Note:
+                Choosing this value can impact performance because all variable length
+                data type columns in each Parquet file at the location must be scanned
+                to assess the value having the greatest length.
+            When set to False, variable length field sizes are assigned the
+            Vantage maximum value for the particular data type.
+            Note:
+                "full_scan" is only used with a "return_type" of 'NOSREAD_PARQUET_SCHEMA'.
+            Default Value: False
+            Types: bool
+
+        manifest:
+            Optional Argument.
+            Specifies whether the location value points to a manifest file (a
+            file containing a list of files to read) or object name. The object
+            name can include the full path or a partial path. It must identify a
+            single file containing the manifest.
+            Note:
+                Individual entries within the manifest file must show
+                complete paths.
+            Below is an example of a manifest file that contains a list of locations 
+            in JSON format.
+            {
+              "entries": [
+                    {"url":"s3://nos-core-us-east-1/UNICODE/JSON/mln-key/data-10/data-8_9_02-10.json"},
+                    {"url":"s3://nos-core-us-east-1/UNICODE/JSON/mln-key/data-10/data-8_9_02-101.json"},
+                    {"url":"s3://nos-core-us-east-1/UNICODE/JSON/mln-key/data-10/data-10-01/data-8_9_02-102.json"},
+                    {"url":"s3://nos-core-us-east-1/UNICODE/JSON/mln-key/data-10/data-10-01/data-8_9_02-103.json"}
+               ]
+            }
+            Default Value: False
+            Types: bool
+
+        row_format:
+            Optional Argument.
+            Specifies the encoding format of the external row.
+            For example:
+                row_format = {'field_delimiter': ',', 'record_delimiter': '\\n', 'character_set': 'LATIN'}
+            If string value is used, JSON format must be used to specify the row format.
+            For example:
+                row_format = '{"field_delimiter": ",", "record_delimiter": "\\n", "character_set": "LATIN"}'
+            Format can include only the three keys shown above. Key names and values 
+            are case-specific, except for the value for "character_set", which can 
+            use any combination of letter cases.
+            The character set specified in "row_format" must be compatible with the character 
+            set of the Payload column.
+            Do not specify "row_format" for Parquet format data.
+            For a JSON column, these are the default values:
+                UNICODE:
+                    row_format = {"record_delimiter":"\\n", "character_set":"UTF8"}
+                LATIN:
+                    row_format = {"record_delimiter":"\\n", "character_set":"LATIN"}
+            For a CSV column, these are the default values:
+                UNICODE:
+                    row_format = '{"character_set":"UTF8"}'
+                LATIN:
+                    row_format = '{"character_set":"LATIN"}'
+            User can specify the following options:
+                field_delimiter: The default is "," (comma). User can also specify a
+                                 custom field delimiter, such as tab "\\t".
+                record_delimiter: New line feed character: "\\n". A line feed
+                                  is the only acceptable record delimiter.
+                character_set: "UTF8" or "LATIN". If you do not specify a "row_format"
+                               or payload column, Vantage assumes UTF8 Unicode.
+            Types: str or dict
+
+        header:
+            Optional Argument.
+            Specifies whether the first row of data in an input CSV file is
+            interpreted as column headings for the subsequent rows of data. Use
+            this parameter only when a CSV input file is not associated with a
+            separate schema object that defines columns for the CSV data.
+            Default Value: True
+            Types: bool
+
+        **generic_arguments:
+            Specifies the generic keyword arguments SQLE functions accept.
+            Below are the generic keyword arguments:
+                persist:
+                    Optional Argument.
+                    Specifies whether to persist the results of the function in table or not.
+                    When set to True, results are persisted in table; otherwise, results
+                    are garbage collected at the end of the session.
+                    Default Value: False
+                    Types: boolean
+
+                volatile:
+                    Optional Argument.
+                    Specifies whether to put the results of the function in volatile table or not.
+                    When set to True, results are stored in volatile table, otherwise not.
+                    Default Value: False
+                    Types: boolean
+
+            Function allows the user to partition, hash, order or local order the input
+            data. These generic arguments are available for each argument that accepts
+            teradataml DataFrame as input and can be accessed as:
+                * "<input_data_arg_name>_partition_column" accepts str or list of str (Strings)
+                * "<input_data_arg_name>_hash_column" accepts str or list of str (Strings)
+                * "<input_data_arg_name>_order_column" accepts str or list of str (Strings)
+                * "local_order_<input_data_arg_name>" accepts boolean
+            Note:
