how lookup is acting as both active and passive ?
how is it possitble?

Answer Posted / eswar

Both Lookup transformations are passive

"A passive transformation does not change the number of
rows that pass through it, such as an Expression
transformation that performs a calculation on data and
passes all rows through the transformation."

And

"An active transformation can change the number of rows
that pass through it, such as a Filter transformation that
removes rows that do not meet the filter condition."

Therefore, the Lookup transformations work as passive but
not as active transformations.
