Let's say you have 10 incoming rows and you specify 5 files to load. How would those rows relate to the file content? Do you want the file content times 10: row 1, file 1,2,3,4,5 row 2, file 1,2,3,4,5 row 3 ..... Do you only want the first 10 lines of the first file to have that row data? (for let's say a text file input) Do you want each of the 5 files' first 10 lines to have that row data? As you can see, there is no logical relation between the rows and the files you are specifying in the transform. When you specify a file path in the row, then we know that the row is linked to that file. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
