Cloning Data Stream: Copy Snap vs Router Snap for Efficiency and Performance

Hi Team,

In my pipeline, I need to clone the incoming data stream for further transformation. I have two options: either to use the Copy Snap or the Router Snap with both conditions set to true. Which option is more suitable for cloning large volumes of data, and which one is more efficient in terms of CPU and memory usage?

The Copy snap will perform better.

Hi @ptaylor ,

I'm curious to know if cloning data with copy snap creates separate threads in runtime depending on how many copy snapshot outputs are enabled, and whether the router behaves in a similar way.
