hard coded value in modifier

[arnabdey]

Hi

Can I create new columns in the output of a Modifier stage with hard coded values? I want to avoid using transformers. I also need to do some NullHandling along with the above mentioned requirement, which I know can be done with Modifiers. Also is there any way to incorporate if.. else logic in the modifier...

Thanks

While you can create new columns in the Modify stage, you cannot do so with "hard coded values" i.e. constants. Nor can you do "if-then-else" logic - both of those are the domain of the Transformer, which there really isn't any reason to avoid nowadays.
