Hi community! I was wondering if I can save an output of the same node in two different formats: For instance:

node(
  func = some_function,
  inputs = "some_input",
  outputs = "the_output",
   name = "node",
),

the_output:
  type: pandas.CSVDataSet
  filepath: data/output_csv.csv

the_output:
  type: pandas.ParquetDataSet
  filepath: data/output_parquet.parquet

This might help: https://kedro.readthedocs.io/en/stable/data/data_catalog.html#transcode-datasets

Thanks @Hamza. As I see, I have to indicate explicitly the format of the output; thus, it will not be saved with the two formats by default. Am I correct?

node(
  func = some_function,
  inputs = "some_input",
  outputs = "the_output@csv" or "the_output@parquet",
   name = "node",
),

You can change your node to output a tuple (of the same dataframe), and define the 2 entries in 2 different names

Thank you @FlorianGD. This was the workaround I had in mind... also, creating a node that simply outputs a copy of the input dataframe and whose output points towards another entry of the catalog... (for instance, using

output

and

output@parquet

)
