> Currently the compiler fails when given a plan with separate data flows.
> ```java
> throw new CompilerException("The given Pact program contains multiple disconnected data flows.");
> ```
> However, I do not see a good conceptual reason to not support such data flows. Are there any technical issues?
> To elaborate a bit on the issue: I have a higher level operator that may or may not produce separated data flows. In a current workaround I have to pipe the union of all data flows to a dummy sink to avoid such an exception.
