Abstract
A controller may control input to, output from, and execution of a component of a data-processing pipeline via an interface. The interface facilitates replacing the component with a different and/or updated component and/or changing a type of controller that controls the component via the interface. For example, the different types of controllers may facilitate communication between components controlled by other controllers (and/or that aren't controlled by a controller), controllers that generate reproducibility data so that component behavior may be reproduced, controllers that reproduce component behavior, and/or controllers that tune performance of the data-processing pipeline, e.g., by varying input, output, and execution of respective component(s).
