The Compute snap provides the ability to quickly add source code for specific per-record computation tasks to a pipeline, without having to write, document and install a complete new component. The actual computation is provided as a Python function, which is then executed for each record by the Compute component.

• Compute allows you to output one and only one record for each input record received
• The python function you write is passed three arguments:
  • compute_component: a handle to the Compute Component object which gives you access to the Component API class methods
  • inrec: A dictionary of input field names and value tuples
  • outrec: A dictionary of output field names and value tuples
• The output record passed to your function is initialized so that all output fields are initially NULL
• The Python datatypes of each output record field must be one of unicode, Decimal, or datetime
• The Compute component supports an additional configuration parameter which can be used to specify the default root location for files. This entry can be added to the Compute component configuration file
