Description

Satisfy this scenario: Profiling is used to analyze new data that will be ingested. Profiling results are saved as a logical file. Then, a new batch of data arrives and is profiled. The new method should compare the new profiling results with the old and output a summary of any differences.

The end goal is to highlight significant differences between the two profiles, which could indicate a significant or unexpected change in the incoming data stream.

Done means a new profiling result can be compared with the saved result and a summary of significant differences is produced.
