| String | description | A human-readable name of the element. |
| Class Label | id, label, desctiption | Label exampleLabel = new Label(id, label, desctibtion) |
Why and What
The ID is used internally as an identifier and must be unique. It is recommended to use the entire package name of the processor class. This ID is also used to refer to the associated resource folder of the processor class. This is achieved when the resource folder and the ID name match.
The label text represents the name of the processor and is displayed in the "Pipeline Editor" and in the "Install Pipeline Management".
The description is displayed under the label and preferably contains a short text about the function of the processor. It can be a maximum of xxx characters long.
The processor symbol is composed of the first letters of the designation title.
Example
create("org.apache.streampipes.example.timestampextractor", "Timestamp Extractor", "Extracts a timestamp into its individual time fields.")
