Thank you Jun for the post. Just a minor change in the figure please
| Apache Wayang lets users describe a data-processing pipeline once and then either choose an execution platform or let Wayang's optimizer decide where the pipeline should run. This matters for modern analytical workloads because data is often no longer stored inside a single database. It may live as Parquet files in object storage, in federated catalogs queried by Trino or Presto, in a serverless warehouse such as BigQuery, or in local analytical files processed by DuckDB. The project focused on making these engines visible to Wayang as execution platforms rather than treating them as separate external connectors. | ||

Can you change the "Plan" occurences in the image to "Query plan"? It can seem ambiguous for someone reading for the first time
