Abstract

A method may include receiving, from a client, a request to customize an operator node corresponding to a data processing operation. The request may include a first key. The operator node may be selected for inclusion in a graph representative of a data processing pipeline. The operator node may be associated with a first file that includes at least one configuration parameter associated with the operator node. The at least one configuration parameter may be associated with a second key. In response to the first key being determined to match the second key, the operator node may be customized by modifying the at least one configuration parameter. Furthermore, a second file associated with a customized operator node may be generated to store the customizations made to the operator node including the modification of the at least one configuration parameter. Related systems and articles of manufacture are also provided.
