I have started leaning about the different stages of DS. I have few queries regarding hashed file stage.
1. What are the possible situations, where we can use hashed file stage?
2. What should be the input file type for a hashed file stage? (Whether xml? text?)
3. In what format will we be getting the output file?
4. Also, I have learnt that hashed file stage can be used as a lookup file. How?
5. Could anybody please explain the application of a hashed file with the help of a simple DS job example/demo?
No body can give answers to your Q like this.
I will suggest you try to build the jobs based upon the scenarios asked in your own Q and see what happens.
We can help if you come across any problem while doing so...by posting error msg etc.
Also refer manuals and search this forum.
Definitely, it will be challenging and exciting as well and you will learn more than what you have asked.
Thanks

Think of a hashed file as a local database table that is very fast for key-based access. The answers to all your questions should flow from that thought. Any database stage can feed a reference input link to a Transformer stage.

I understand you have a keyboard with you. It is not that you can just blindly type something and send this as a reply to others.

It is always better to atleast TRY something before we put forth a question..
My questions are valid.

I tried to delete this topic as this topic has been submitted twice accidentally. But I could not do that. Therefore, I have informed the editor (as I do not know moderators contact info in order to report this issue) and requested him to delete this topic.
Duplicate post...

Before that, I sincerely thank Suresh for his valuable reply. This helps me a lot. Also, I have made a note of all your precious replies. Many thanks to all.
Sorry for the confusion caused. Please bear with me.
It is highly irresponsible to post such replies in a porfessional forum like DSXCHANGE.
Mods, please remove these replies from the thread to maintain the high standards of our Forum.
