Understanding the output files in a Datastore export

We need to export our Datastore DB from Google Cloud to our local development evironment. I managed to export it and save it in a folder on the Storage. However, there are over a hundred files that are named: "output-{number}". Is not clear for me if we must use all of them in order to import the DB on local, or I just need one of this outputs.

The export created has the following structure:

default_namespace/
    all_kinds/
        default_namespace_all_kinds.export_metadata
        output-0
        output-1
        ...
        output-N

Is the entire "default_namespace" directory needed to successfully import the data from Prod to Local?

If you need more information please write a comment and I will provide it to you.

Datasatore exports are expected to generate many different files as specified in the docs

However, the file you should use to perform the import is the one with the extension .overall_export_metadata. (Example: file-name.overall_export_metadata)

If what you want to do is import the Datastore Database to a local instance of the Datastore Emulator, take a look at this documentation
