Can I return custom status codes for chunk-oriented steps?

No, chunk-oriented modules must finish with either OK or ERROR. Custom exit statuses are only supported for task-oriented script steps using the Status object.

Where should the steptypes.json file be located?

The steptypes.json file must be placed in the root folder of your cartridge, not inside the cartridge/ directory. You should only have one steptypes.json file per cartridge.

How do I ensure resources like file writers are closed properly?

In chunk-oriented steps, you should always close files, queries, and connections within the afterStep() function to ensure resources are released regardless of step success or failure.

What is the difference between task-oriented and chunk-oriented steps?

Task-oriented steps are for single, discrete operations like FTP transfers or file generation. Chunk-oriented steps are designed for bulk data processing with fine-grained progress tracking and better memory management.
