These components are dedicated for data flow management when using Data Partitioning or in CloverETL Cluster environment.
Table 54.1. Data Partitioning Components Comparison
| Component | Same input metadata | Sorted inputs | Inputs | Outputs | Java | CTL | Auto-propagated metadata |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ParallelPartition | ![]() | ![]() | 1 | 1 [1] | [2] | [2] | ![]() |
| ParallelLoadBalancingPartition | ![]() | ![]() | 1 | 1 [1] | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
| ParallelSimpleGather | ![]() | ![]() | 1 [3] | 1 | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
| ParallelMerge | ![]() | ![]() | 1 [3] | 1 | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
| ParallelRepartition | ![]() | ![]() | 1 [3] | 1 [1] | [2] | [2] | ![]() |
[1] The single output port represents multiple virtual output ports. [2] ParallelPartition and ParallelRepartition can use either the transformation or two other attributes (Ranges or Partition key). [3] The single input port represents multiple virtual input ports. | |||||||
