| merge_mode |
one of:
- DEFAULT
- ROUND_ROBIN
- RR
- SORTED
- SEQUENCIAL
- SEQ
- ANY
|
The way in which the events are sorted from different sources.
- ROUND_ROBIN or RR -
One event is passed from each source, using the round-robin
policy.
(for example, if there are 4 sources, the events will come
from sources 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,...)
If the source under inspection signals no ready events, also the
merge module will signal the same.
- ANY -
One event is passed from each source, using the round-robin
policy.
The merge will signal no data found, only if ALL the sources
reports no data found.
- SEQUENTIAL or SEQ -
First all the events are read from the first source and only when
it is colsed, the merge module will start passing events from the
second source. The same is true for the whole list of sources.
- SORTED -
The events get ordered by (run_nr,trigger_nr). The merge module
will signal no data available if ANY source reports no data found.
