Github user rasehorn commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/zeppelin/pull/1799 From my point of view this kind of functionality shall be provided by the core framework. I do not have created many notebooks but what I've done always is: create one paragraph after the other to seperate data preparation from processing and visualization. So for the approach I apply it would be sufficient to execute the paragraphs in the sequence they are ordered in the notebook and this should be the default behaviour. To support control over parallel execution of paragraphs it would be sufficient from my point of view to have a flag on each paragraph telling if this paragraph could be executed in parallel, so all subsequent paragraphs (their order within the notebook, not their ID) having this flag set could also be executed in parallel. This is a kind defining the paragraph execution workflow implicitely without the need to program explicitely. But again: I'm not a power user. :-)
