DataFlow is an object representing a stream of tabular data. DataFlow contains data with the similar structure as DataFrame, but difference is that in the DataFrame all its contents is stored to the system memory. If there is lot of data, also lot of memory is required when using DataFrames. On the other hand in the DataFlow, contents "flows" from the source to the destination, and data can be manipulated, while having only a small portion of the entire data in memory at the same time. Thus, DataFlows are suitable for ETL where data volumes are high.
