Hint for streaming: Node can only be executed in real streamed fashion if every single XPath query is configured as follow (see XPath Query Settings):
The column names are fixed (i.e. select 'new column name') and either 'Single Cell', 'Collection Cell', or 'Multiple Rows' are selected as 'Multiple tag option'.
