Question

hey all I know it s been asked many times but i am yet to find a solution on kedro node running order I am building steps which creates some tables in bigquery since the query is complex it is being done in a multi stage way so 01 query1 sql 02 query2 sql etc Each of these are a node in kedro but since my custom dataset implementation creating tables in bigquery only implemented a `load` method i define outputs as `None` in the node Question is how can I create a Ordered Pipeline in kedro Im willing to hack the Pipeline class a bit but too many stuff going on there so seeking some help here thanks in advance slightly smiling face

Yeah I searched for this question but Im not clear how this would work with dummy outputs here My dataset only implements `load` method I thought it s suited for that one and if i take a dummy input that means i have to implement `save` operation to create data dependency here no For instance `node1 lambda x x inputs= create table 1 outputs=None ` `node2 lambda x x inputs= create table 2 outputs=None ` How would that work Sorry if I am missing something obvious here

~Yeah but you don t have to save anything in the `save` just pass some dummy data~

marrrcin · Answer

You can have ```node1 lambda x not important inputs= create table 1 outputs= dummy node2 lambda x args dummy2 inputs= create table 2 dummy outputs=None ```

marrrcin · Answer

the dummy dataset from `outputs` can be skipped from the catalog if you re using MemoryDataSet which is default

Ahh I see now with multi inputs didn t occur to me so far smile Thanks will give that one a try I think your example would be nice to have in the nodes documentation +1 gratitude thank you
