Ajith,

As far as i know Modify Stage gives more performance than the Transformer Stage. Also we are mostly using modify stage in our jobs instead of Transformer (wherever it is possible), and we are trying to avoiding Transformer stage bcoz of performance.

Hi,

It is always better to sort the data based on the partition keys. It will increase the performance of the job.

If the stage is Partitioning data, then the sort will occur after the partitioning. If the stage is collecting data, then sort occurs before the collection of data.
