Method Detail

init

void init(ProcessorContext context)

Initialize this transformer with the given context. The framework ensures this is called once per processor when the topology that contains it is initialized.

If this transformer is to be called periodically by the framework, then this method should schedule itself with the provided context.

Parameters:

context - the context; may not be null

transform
