Split filtering into its own command? about q2-dada2 HOT 7 OPEN

Pipelines are now merged!

I agree that it would make sense to do this. At this stage it makes sense to focus on making functionality modular. When we have Pipeline actions in the future, we can chain the more modular methods together for users who want the more "push button" functionality.

I'd prefer to hold off on this until after our 2017.3 release goes out, instead targeting it for 2017.6. We're pretty swamped for 2017.3. The other benefit of waiting till 2017.6 is that we plan to add Pipeline actions in that release, so it would likely be the case that we wouldn't need to change the interface for denoise-single and denoise-paired. Those could become Pipelines (without users knowing that anything changed under the hood) and then we can add the new methods to split filtering into its own step.

Is there a github issue somewhere that I can follow the progress of Q2 Pipelines?

from q2-dada2.

Yes! @ebolyen is actually working on that right now, and the plan is to have basic pipeline support in place for this release cycle (2017.10). Here's the issue and corresponding pull request:

It might be nice to include the plotErrors visualization as part of this process (of course this would require an all new viz in the plugin, but it could wrap the existing plotErrors results). This recently came up on the forum.

Is there an example Pipeline already implemented, or developer documentation on implementing Pipelines?

from q2-dada2.

@benjjneb, the framework section in the release notes has some light documentation. And the core-metrics and core-metrics-phylogenetic actions are pipelines:

• implementation
• registration

Feel free to ping us on Slack also!
