addOnlyToBlink
The AddOnlyToBlinkTableAdapter.toBlink method converts an add-only or append-only table to a blink table.
Blink tables keep only the set of rows received during the current update cycle; see Specialized semantics for blink tables for details.
Note
Limit the use of this method to add-only or append-only tables that are not fully in-memory, or when blink-table specific aggregation semantics are desired. If the table is fully in-memory, creating a downstream blink table is not recommended because it does not achieve the main benefit of blink tables, which is to reduce memory usage but instead increases memory usage.
