Abstract
In an embodiment, a data processing method comprises creating and storing a plurality of analytical notebooks in digital computer storage, wherein each of the analytical notebooks comprises notebook metadata that specifies a kernel for execution, and one or more computational cells, wherein each of the cells comprises cell metadata, a source code reference and an output reference; receiving, in association with a first cell among the one or more cells, first input specifying computer program source code of a function, wherein the function defines an input dataset, a transformation, and one or more variables associated with output data; storing the first cell, excluding the output data, using a first digital data storage system and updating the source code reference to identify the first data storage system; using the kernel specified in the notebook metadata, executing an executable version of the source code to result in generating the output data; storing the output data using a second digital data storage system that is separate from the first digital data storage system and updating the output reference to identify the second data storage system.
