Hi everyone,

I have a requirment where in i have a source dataset having the records and we have to group the source records into groups of five each and process these groups of records in the further steps.

Can someone please suggest if we can achieve this through aggregator stage and if so, the steps for implementation. if it is not, please suggest an solution.

Not enough information (exactly how do you have to group these records?). I'm pretty confident the Aggregator stage is not the way to go, unless very specific circumstances obtain. So how about you explain more fully what you are trying to accomplish, in particular the rules for grouping and what is meant by an array structure in your context.

there is no specific key to group the records.whatever records are coming from input ,they are to be grouped on the input basis only.

He's looking for more specifics from you. So 'groups' of 5 based on input order, fine... but then what? What exactly do you mean by 'array structure'? Details and examples would all be good otherwise we're just guessing.
