Bug Fixes
  • Properly handle asynchronous read from stream (#1284) (55d86ba). This could result in silently dropped rows in a createReadStream. The bug is active when the ReadRows stream would be piped into a consumer that would defer the processing of the rows until the next event loop run (i.e. use a Transform that would defer the callback invocation via setTimeout()).
