Processing Mode

HTTP Client can use one of the following processing modes to read source data:

Streaming: HTTP Client maintains a connection and processes data as it becomes available. Use to process streaming data in real time.
Polling: HTTP Client polls the server at the specified interval for available data. Use to access data periodically, such as metrics and events at a REST endpoint.; Note: After the polling interval passes, the origin continues processing from where it stopped. For example, let’s say that you’ve configured the origin to use the polling mode with an interval of two hours and to use page number pagination. After the origin reads 25 pages of results, the 26th page returns no results and so the origin stops reading. After the two hour interval passes, the origin polls the server again, reading the results starting with page 26.
Batch: HTTP Client processes all available data and then stops the pipeline. Use to process data as needed.; Not valid in Data Collector Edge pipelines. Do not use Batch processing mode in Data Collector Edge pipelines.
