This API defines a {dataframe-transform}, which copies data from source indices,
transforms it, and persists it into an entity-centric destination index. The
entities are defined by the set of `group_by` fields in the `pivot` object. You
can also think of the destination index as a two-dimensional tabular data
structure (known as a {dataframe}). The ID for each document in the
{dataframe} is generated from a hash of the entity, so there is a unique row
per entity. For more information, see
{stack-ov}/ml-dataframes.html[{dataframe-transforms-cap}].
When the {dataframe-transform} is created, a series of validations occur to When the {dataframe-transform} is created, a series of validations occur to
