Hello, Does kedro allow more than one

catalog.yaml

files in the same kedro project? If so, how does kedro behave if there are multiple

catalog.yaml

files?

Hi @Srikanth Reddy! Thanks for your question. Let me see if I can help you: • Yes, Kedro allows more than one

catalog.yaml

, and the same pattern applies to any other configuration file like

parameters.yaml

• You have a few ways to do this: ◦ Start each file with

catalog

e.g.

catalog_pipeline_1.yaml

and

catalog_pipeline_2.yaml

◦ Or put the files into a folder called

catalog

e.g.

catalog/pipeline_1.yaml

and

catalog/pipeline_2.yaml

Here's where this is detailed in the documentation: https://docs.kedro.org/en/stable/configuration/configuration_basics.html#configuration-file-names And you can see which configuration files allow you to do this: https://docs.kedro.org/en/stable/configuration/configuration_basics.html#configuration-patterns

Thanks a lot @Yetunde ! This helps

@Srikanth Reddy What I like to do on every Kedro project is to split catalog by layers. As Kedro data folder by default consists of

01_raw

,

02_intermediate

etc, I create one YAML file per layer and then Kedro config loader merges them automatically.

Thanks @Yury Fedotov !!
