com.pervasive.datarush.matching.Phase

public class Phase
extends Object

Configures a phase of field comparisons, classifiers and a filter to use during a matching operation. A matching operation may be composed with multiple phases. A phase must contain comparisons and a filter. It can contain multiple classifiers, but classifiers are not required by a phase.

Comparisons are linked to classifiers by a field name. A comparison produces an output field (a score). Multiple scores are normally fed into a classifier which produces an aggregated score. It is also possible to configure a classifer to take the output of multiple classifiers. A filter is used to filter out records that don't meet the criteria of the filter. The result of a comparison may also be directly fed into a filter when a classifier is not needed.

The result of a phase is a set of field comparison results that are classified into an aggregate score(s) that are used to filter record pairs. Only record pairs that meet the filter criteria are pushed to the resultant data flow.
