The differences between the Simple VSR Matcher and the T-Swoosh algorithms
When processing the input data using the Simple VSR Matcher algorithm, there
may be more iterations than the number of input records because a merged record may be
created on each iteration and added to the queue.
This is one of the main differences
between the Simple VSR Matcher and the T-Swoosh algorithms.
comparisons per iteration than the Simple VSR matcher algorithm:
-
When using the Simple VSR matcher algorithm, the record from the queue is
only compared with the value of the master record. -
When using the T-Swoosh algorithm, the record from the queue is compared with
the value of the master record and the value of each of the records used to
build this master record.You can find an example of how to survive master
records using the T-Swoosh algorithm in Talend Help Center (https://help.talend.com).In this example, the record “John Doe, John B. Doe” is compared with the
record “John B. Doe” on iteration 5. There is a match if at least one of the
three strings “John Doe, John B. Doe”, “John Doe” and “John B. Doe” matches
the string “Johnnie B. Doe”.
