The Explore Data node provides a profile of any input data source. Explore Data allows you to see common statistics and the histogram for each column. Optionally, you can select a Group By attribute and have multivariate view of histograms generated. Statistics can either be based on all of the data or on a sample of the data.
The Explore Data node generates an output flow containing the results of all the statistical analysis. You can connect any source of data input to an Explore Data node. For example, you can attach an Explore Data node to an Apply node.
Explore Data nodes analyze attributes with all supported data types as well as these data types for date and time:
DATE
TIMESTAMP
TIMESTAMP_WITH_TIMEZONE
TIMESTAMP_WITH_LOCAL_TIMEZONE
