value of the stage variable

[4friends]

i have one parallel job

source i have 100 records,i am running job on 4 node configuration,using the round robin partion before transformer,the targets are 4 files.

i am using a stage variable in transformer to count how many rows are went to the target.

in this case what is the value of the stage variable?

Sounds like an interview question. Did you try it? What value did you get. Should be 25 if the transformer is running in parallel and 100 if it is explicitly set to run in sequential mode.
