A connector is both an exporter and receiver. As the name suggests a Connector connects
two pipelines: it consumes data as an exporter at the end of one pipeline and emits data
as a receiver at the start of another pipeline. It may consume and emit data of the same data

consumed data, or it may simply replicate or route data.
