Question 1

How do I create a conditional task in Dagrs?

Accepted Answer

Implement the Condition trait with a custom run method that returns a boolean based on runtime data. For example, you can define validation logic to control task flow execution, as shown in the conditional node example.

Question 2

Dagrs or Apache Airflow for building data pipelines in Rust?

Accepted Answer

Dagrs is better for native Rust applications needing high-performance async orchestration with FBP principles, while Airflow offers a more mature ecosystem and GUI for Python-centric workflows, but lacks Rust integration.

Question 3

Can Dagrs handle loops in task graphs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, using LoopSubgraph to create cyclic dependencies, allowing repeated execution until conditions are met. This is useful for interactive systems or iterative processes, as demonstrated in the loop DAG feature.

Question 4

How to parse YAML files for task definitions in Dagrs?

Accepted Answer

Implement the Parser trait for YAML, as shown in the dagrs-sklearn example. This allows defining tasks, dependencies, and execution commands in a custom format, enabling easy configuration of complex workflows.

Question 5

Is Dagrs good for machine learning workflows?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the dagrs-sklearn example demonstrates parallel training of classifiers with stages like data preprocessing, model training, and evaluation managed as async tasks. It uses a custom YAML parser for workflow definition.

Question 6

What's the performance impact of using Dagrs?

Accepted Answer

Built on Tokio and Rust, Dagrs is designed for high performance with non-blocking I/O, but specific benchmarks are not provided in the README. Performance depends on task complexity and hardware.
