Headline schema

                                            

This is a combined schema. Both raw and enriched headlines (if present) are included.

Normalisation: In this example, execDuration is declared as float32 by the Gateway, and its type remains float32. numZones is declared as int32 by the Gateway and its type remains int32 because it does not have a unit of measure.

Table schema


                                            

This is a combined schema. Both raw and enriched columns (if present) are included.

Normalisation: In this example, epoch is declared as int32 by the Gateway, but its type becomes float64 because it has a unit of measure. Gateway Hub stores time values to microsecond precision.
