Parallel Pipeline

The Parallel Pipeline is a distinguished higher-order pipeline within Syncraft's query engine, designed to execute its child pipelines concurrently. This concurrent execution model significantly enhances query performance, especially in large datasets or computationally intensive operations scenarios. Allowing multiple pipelines to run independently and in parallel optimizes the data processing flow, making it a valuable asset in achieving performance efficiency.

Core Features

1. Concurrent Execution

The cornerstone of the Parallel Pipeline is its ability to execute multiple child pipelines concurrently, thus optimizing system resources and reducing the overall execution time.

2. Independent Processing

Each child pipeline within a Parallel Pipeline operates independently, ensuring that the failure or delay in one does not directly impact the others.

3. Data Processing Efficiency

By distributing the workload across multiple pipelines that run in parallel it significantly enhances the data processing efficiency and speed.

Components

• Collect - A map of the field - pipeline, where after the pipeline completes, the value is stored and can be referenced by a field name in the ReMap step.
• ReMap - The step where we can consolidate the data returned from parallel pipelines. Learn more about ReMap pipelines.
