Types of Edges
There are four types of edges, three of which have some internal buffer. You can select among edges by right clicking on an edge, then clicking the item and clicking one of the presented types.
Edges can be set to any of the following types:
Direct edge: This type of edge has a buffer in memory, which helps data flow faster. This is the default edge type.
Buffered edge: This type of edge has also a buffer in memory, but, if necessary, it can store data on disk as well. Thus the buffer size is unlimited. It has two buffers, one for reading and one for writing.
Direct fast propagate edge. This is an alternative implementation of the Direct edge. This edge type has no buffer but it still provides a fast data flow. It sends each data record to the target of this edge as soon as it receives it.
Phase connection edge. This edge type cannot be selected, it is created automatically between two components with different phase numbers.
If you do not want to specify an explicit edge type, you can let CloudConnect decide by selecting the option Detect default.
