build_schedule: Build a schedule

In maestro: Orchestration of Data Pipelines

Build a schedule

Description

Builds a MaestroSchedule object for use in run_schedule().

Usage

build_schedule(pipeline_dir = "./pipelines", cores = 1L, quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

pipeline_dir	path to directory containing the pipeline scripts
cores	number of cpu cores to use when parsing pipeline scripts. If > 1, furrr is used and a multisession plan must be set in the orchestrator (e.g. future::plan(future::multisession)). See run_schedule() for details.
quiet	silence metrics to the console (default = FALSE)

Details

This function parses the maestro tags of functions located in pipeline_dir which is conventionally called 'pipelines'. An orchestrator requires a MaestroSchedule to determine which pipelines are to run and when. Each pipeline in the schedule is a parsed function and its scheduling parameters such as its frequency.

The MaestroSchedule is mostly intended to be passed directly to run_schedule(). In other words, it is not recommended to make changes to it.

Value

MaestroSchedule

Examples

# Creating a temporary directory for demo purposes! In practice, just
# create a 'pipelines' directory at the project level.

if (interactive()) {
  pipeline_dir <- tempdir()
  create_pipeline("my_new_pipeline", pipeline_dir, open = FALSE)
  build_schedule(pipeline_dir = pipeline_dir)
}
