Abstract

Provided are techniques for pipeline optimization based on polymorphic schema knowledge. A hierarchical document to be processed by a pipeline of transformations is received. It is determined whether a next downstream transformation accesses content of each schema node in an associated input schema, wherein the input schema is a polymorphic schema. In response to determining that the next downstream transformation is not accessing the content of each schema node in the associated input schema, data items corresponding to each schema node that the next downstream transformation is not accessing are collected into a single compressed event. The collected items are passed to the next downstream transformation as the single compressed event.
