hi	hello	hey	bye	goodbye	see ya

Query

  {"mergeme": "hi","mergeme2": "bye"},
  {"mergeme": "hello","mergeme2": "goodbye"},
  {"mergeme": "hey","mergeme2": "see ya"}
]'
|| mergecolumn mergeme mergeme2 --asArray false

flags:

--appendStage

Used to append the results from a previous stage to the current stage. (provide a label, stage index, or boolean true to append the previous results)

--asArray

When true, the merged column will be an array instead of a string.

--cache

A boolean value of true/false that determines whether or not to use the cache. Generally most commands will default to true.

--checkpoint

Format: "{CHECKPOINT NAME}:{COLUMN}" Used to store the value of the provided column (in the first row of results) in the provided name for use as a checkpoint in scheduled queries or other stages. Not encrypted. Can be accessed using $CHECKPOINTS.{CHECKPOINT NAME}$

--delimiter

The delimiter for the merged column row values.

--filter

A filter to run on the command results before completing the command. If not provided, no filter is run on the results.

--guid

Adds a populated random guid column.

--ignoreEmpty

When true, empty values will not be included in the merged column.

--labelStage

Used to label a stage with a user provided label.

--maxRows

Maximum number of rows to include in a merge (will create multiple rows containing the merged column in chunks if there are more rows than the provided maxRows).

--randomizeHash

Randomizes the stage hash, even if args and flags are the same.

--stats

Controls if a stats calculation is run on a stage after it completes.

--table

A comma separated list of columns to include in the command results. If not provided, all columns will be included.

--type

Each command has a default type, either "mapping" or "reducing". Some commands can operate as either, when "reducing" they will operate on all rows at once, when "mapping", they will operate on one row at a time.

--variable

Format: "{VARIABLE NAME}:{COLUMN}" Used to store the value of the provided column (in the first row of results) in the provided name for use as a variable in other stages. Can be accessed using $VARIABLES.{VARIABLE NAME}$. Stored as an encrypted secret. Not stored across queries.
