fork

Operator

  fork — copy values to parallel pipeline branches

Synopsis

fork 
  ( <branch> )
  ( <branch> )
  ...

Description

The fork operator copies each input value to multiple, parallel branches of the pipeline.

The output of a fork consists of multiple branches that must be merged. If the downstream operator expects a single input, then the output branches are merged with an automatically inserted combine operator.

Examples

Copy input to two pipeline branches and merge

  ( pass )
  ( pass )
