consider updating them by making a pull request to the YAML file that defines the
capabilities for this extractor.
This plugin has the following capabilities:
- about
- batch
- catalog
- discover
- schema-flattening
- state
- stream-maps
You can
override these capabilities or specify additional ones
in your meltano.yml by adding the capabilities key.
