Tim Swast commented on AIRFLOW-1101: ------------------------------------ DAGs appears more often than pipelines, so it probably makes sense to standardize on that. There is even a DAGs section in Concepts. Workflows also appears quite often and interchangably with "pipelines" > Docs use the term "Pipelines" instead of DAGs > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: AIRFLOW-1101 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-1101 > Project: Apache Airflow > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Andrew Chen > Priority: Major > > It's a bit confusing to use the words "DAGs" and "pipelines" interchangeably > in the documentation. Here are a couple examples where it is especially > confusing. > https://airflow.incubator.apache.org/configuration.html#connections > "The pipeline code you will author will reference the ‘conn_id’ of the > Connection objects." > "Connections in Airflow pipelines can be created using environment variables." > https://airflow.incubator.apache.org/configuration.html#scaling-out-with-celery > "If all your boxes have a common mount point, having your pipelines files > shared there should work as well" -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
