Hi Snehal, Please refer below image for the clarification:

| Filter Rows | Java Filter |
| --- | --- |
| Filter Rows step filters incoming data rows based on conditions and comparisons. | The Java Filter Step allows filters the input stream using user defined Java expressions |
| It generally has two output hops ‗true‘ and ‗false‘ based on the evaluation of the conditions. | Output can be redirected to two different steps based on the evaluation of the Java expression. |
