Endeca Integrator - Transformation Component
About
Integrator provides several types of transformation components.
Transformation components are the fundamental processes that operate on data.
They are divided up into the following sections in the Palette pane:
The Readers section contains the various components for reading in data from any external data source.
The Writers section contains components that are responsible for outputting data from the transformation into databases, files, LDAP, and other targets.
The Transformers section contains components that help you transform your data from one format to another. Transformers make it possible to map fields, sort, merge, aggregate, normalize, denormalize, and so on.
The Joiners section contains components that combine various data sources into one or more data outputs.
The Clusters section contains components that merge data flows from cluster nodes.
The Others section includes the WebService Client component for accessing Web services, as well as less frequently used components like the Sequence Checker and the Speed Limiter.
The Discovery section provides access to Endeca-specific components like Add Managed Values.

Trash
The Trash component tests the end points in a graph. Any data that arrives in the Trash component is discarded, which means that there is no need to create a file or database output. The Trash component also allows you to use some of the debugging capabilities of the Integrator to monitor graph execution.
