US Patent 9396037 Model-based data pipeline system optimization

A computer-implemented method for optimizing a data pipeline system includes processing a data pipeline configuration manifest to generate a framework of the data pipeline system and a data flow logic package of the data pipeline system. The data pipeline configuration manifest includes an object-oriented metadata model of the data pipeline system. The computer-implemented method further includes monitoring performance of the data pipeline system during execution of the data flow logic package to obtain a performance metric for the data pipeline system, and modifying, with a processor, the framework of the data pipeline system based on the data pipeline configuration manifest and the performance metric.
