| Issue | Solution | |-------|----------| | One-to-many match (e.g., email shared by family) | Use confidence score or require second key | | Missing key in one dataset | Keep unmatched rows (LEFT JOIN) | | Conflicting data (e.g., two different names for same email) | Apply rule: most recent, most frequent, or flag conflict | | Large scale (millions of rows) | Use database indexes, Spark, or BigQuery for joins | stitch data

Stitch website anonymous events to logged-in user events. m.user_id) AS resolved_user_id

| Pitfall | Prevention | |---------|-------------| | Assuming one perfect key | Use multiple keys + scoring | | Ignoring time windows | Stitch only if IDs appear within e.g., 30 min (session stitching) | | Stitching across incompatible entities | Validate domain – don't stitch product to customer via order ID only | | Performance collapse | Test on subsets, partition by date, use hash joins |
