The create map deluge task is used to declare a map variable.

Syntax

To declare a map variable

<variable> = Map();

To create a map variable with key value pairs

<variable> = {<key1>: <value1>, <key2>: <value2> ...... <keyN>: <valueN>} ;

Parameter	Description
<variable>	Variable which will hold the key-value pairs.
<key>	Key to hold a value. You can directly specify a key, or a variable, or a field value in the format input.<field_name>, or an expression, i.e. a combination of values, constants, variables, operators, functions and so on. Keys must be unique. If an existing key is specified again, the newly specified value will overwrite the existing value of that key, and a new key-value pair will not be appended. If a date value is specified without a time value, 00:00:00 will be added as the time value by default. Keys can be of any data-type
<value>	Value to be assigned to the key. You can directly specify a value, or a variable, or a field value in the format input.<field_name>, or an expression, i.e. a combination of values, constants, variables, operators, functions and so on. If a date value is specified without a time value, 00:00:00 will be added as the time value by default. Values can be of any data-type.
