 3. Addressing the above two use case with `full` mutation is not an option on very large datasets because a `full` mutation requires that all entities are in memory to create a diff. If your data source has 100k+ records, this can easily cause your processes to run out of memory.
 4. In cases when you can use `full` mutation, committing many entities into the processing pipeline fills up the processing queue and delays the processing of entities from other entity providers.
