why union transformation is active transformation?
Answer Posted / mahaboob basha
Hi,
the only condition for a transformation to bcum active is
row number changes.
Now the thing is how a row number can change. Then there are
2 conditions:
1. either the no of rows coming in and going out is diff.
eg: in case of filter we have the data like
id name dept row_num
1 aa 4 1
2 bb 3 2
3 cc 4 3
and we have a filter condition like dept=4 then the o/p wld
b like
id name dept row_num
1 aa 4 1
3 cc 4 2
So row num changed and it is an active transformation
2. or the order of the row changes
eg: when Union transformation pulls in data, suppose we have
2 sources
sources1:
id name dept row_num
1 aa 4 1
2 bb 3 2
3 cc 4 3
source2:
id name dept row_num
4 aaa 4 4
5 bbb 3 5
6 ccc 4 6
it never restricts the data from any source so the data can
come in any manner
id name dept row_num old row_num
1 aa 4 1 1
4 aaa 4 2 4
5 bbb 3 3 5
2 bb 3 4 2
3 cc 4 5 3
6 ccc 4 6 6
so the row_num are changing . Thus we say that union is an
active transformation
