Abstract
The present disclosure relates to cataloging data sets for reuse in pipeline applications. One example method includes identifying a data set produced by a particular pipeline object included in a first pipeline instance, the first pipeline instance including a plurality of pipeline objects, each pipeline object configured to perform a computation, and the particular pipeline object configured to perform a particular computation; determining a set of metadata for the data set, the set of metadata including identifying information for the data set to identify the data set to pipeline instances separate from the first pipeline instance; and allowing pipeline instances separate from the first pipeline instance to retrieve the data set based at least in part on the set of metadata, wherein the pipeline instances avoid performing the particular computation by using the retrieved data set.
