RE: Output for sort and dedup sort with null key
 
If there is no key used in the sort component, while using the dedup sort the output depends on the keep parameter.
If its set to firt then the output would have only the first record,
if its set to last the output would have the last record,
if its set to unique_only,then there would be no records in the output file.
