recordsOut

recordsOut is a label used in various computing contexts to denote the output channel or collection of data records produced by a component. The term is not tied to a single standard; its exact meaning depends on the domain and implementation.

In software data processing and ETL pipelines, a component may expose an output interface named recordsOut through which processed records are emitted to downstream components or storage. The recordsOut path typically carries a stream or batch of records, with each record representing a structured data item such as a database row or a serialized object. Implementations may treat recordsOut as a data path, a queue, or a direct return value, depending on the architecture.

In hardware design and hardware description languages, recordsOut can denote an output port that presents a record on a bus as part of a streaming data path. The format and width of the recordsOut signal depend on the defined record structure of the module and on the surrounding datapath conventions.

In general software terminology, recordsOut may be an array, list, or iterable that contains the exported records, or it may be a function or interface name used to obtain such a collection. In dataflow or code-generation contexts, recordsOut often appears as a port label or connection that feeds into subsequent stages.

Common considerations when using recordsOut include ensuring data format consistency, handling backpressure or flow control, and managing serialization when crossing process or system boundaries. See also: recordsIn, output port, streaming, data pipeline.
