You can edit and save
changes to the code that is generated by directives. There are two
ways to access code:
-
use the code editor from the Code task
within a directive
Note: Some directives, such as
Transform Data in Hadoop and Cleanse Data in Hadoop, do not include
a Code task.
-
download the code from a directive’s Result task
or from the Run Status directive. After downloading the code, you
can work with it in a third-party text editor on your local machine.
The code editor is intended
to be used only to implement advanced features. In normal use, there
is no need to edit code. The code editor is a good way to see what
will be running, but making changes can be problematic. If you make
changes in the directive interface after you edit code, then your
edits are lost when the code is regenerated. Also, your code edits
are not reflected in the directive interface, which further complicates
updates to edited code.
