Example

The following code example describes a distribution algorithm that tries to lower the parallelism or more accurately, forces asynchronous operation of the target steps as they will get out of step with each other.  The output row set buffers are filled up one by one.  If one is full, the next one is approached:

Code Block

package org.pentaho.di.trans.step;package org.pentaho.di.trans.step;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.pentaho.di.core.RowSet;
import org.pentaho.di.core.exception.KettleStepException;
import org.pentaho.di.core.gui.PrimitiveGCInterface.EImage;
import org.pentaho.di.core.row.RowMetaInterface;

@RowDistributionPlugin(
    code="Overflow",
    name="Overflow",
    description="When an output row set is full, move to the next one"
    )
public class OverflowRowDistributionPlugin implements RowDistributionInterface {

  @Override
  public String getCode() {
    return "Overflow";
  }

  @Override
  public String getDescription() {
    return "When an output row set is full, move to the next one";
  }

  @Override
  public void distributeRow(RowMetaInterface rowMeta, Object[] row, StepInterface step)
      throws KettleStepException {

    RowSet rowSet = step.getOutputRowSets().get(step.getCurrentOutputRowSetNr());

    boolean added = false;
    while (!added) {
      added=rowSet.putRowWait(rowMeta, row, 1, TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS);
      if (added) {
        break;
      }
      step.setCurrentOutputRowSetNr(step.getCurrentOutputRowSetNr()+1);
      if (step.getCurrentOutputRowSetNr()>step.getOutputRowSets().size()-1) {

    }
