//! # knut-thund (Þund) — a Rust-native, Arrow-centric streaming dataflow engine
//!
//! Þund is knut's **engine**: it authors, ingests, and runs **batch +
//! streaming** data pipelines, with a **pluggable execution backend** —
//! either a native Arrow/DataFusion engine (Arroyo-style, RecordBatch streams
//! end to end) or a lowering to **Spark Declarative Pipelines (SDP)** over
//! Spark Connect (Spark 4.1+/4.2). It is the "Airflow killer" half of the
//! pipelines story; `knut-pipelines` remains the *viewer*, which Þund reuses
//! (and which provides the Spark Connect client this engine lowers onto).
//!
//! ## The three layers
//!
//! | Layer | What | Module |
//! |---|---|---|
//! | **Authoring** | typed Rust builder + thin RON DSL + facett graph editor | [`authoring`] |
//! | **IR** | one Arrow-typed dataflow graph: datasets/flows/expectations, batch + streaming | [`ir`] |
//! | **Backends** | pluggable `ExecBackend`: native Arrow/DataFusion or Spark-Connect-SDP | [`backend`] |
//!
//! All three authoring surfaces produce the same [`ir::Pipeline`]; every
//! [`backend::ExecBackend`] consumes it. The IR is the contract; front-ends
//! and back-ends are interchangeable around it. See the design doc
//! `knut/.nornir/thund.md`.
//!
//! ## Why it kills Airflow
//!
//! Airflow's DAG encodes *task order* and is blind to the data it touches, so
//! it can only re-execute, never *reconcile*; data flows through the metadata
//! DB (XCom); the scheduler re-parses every DAG every loop; it is Python-only.
//! Þund takes Dagster's **asset model** (declare the artifact, infer the DAG
//! from declared inputs/outputs → recompute only what's stale), is **Arrow
//! end-to-end** like Dremio (one columnar format storage→exec→wire, Flight
//! transport, no XCom), runs **streaming first-class** (unlike any
//! orchestrator), and offers **CLI/Rust/DSL/visual parity** over one IR.
//!
//! ## Example
//!
//! ```
//! use knut_thund::ir::{Pipeline, Dataset, Flow, OutputType};
//!
//! let p = Pipeline::new("daily_sales")
//!     .with_dataset(Dataset::new("clean_orders", OutputType::MaterializedView))
//!     .with_flow(
//!         Flow::batch("f_clean", "clean_orders", ["raw_orders"])
//!             .with_query("SELECT * FROM raw_orders WHERE amount > 0"),
//!     );
//! p.validate().unwrap();
//! assert_eq!(p.topo_order().unwrap(), vec!["clean_orders".to_string()]);
//!
//! // Lower to Spark Declarative Pipelines (works without a live Spark):
//! let sdp = p.to_sdp();
//! assert_eq!(sdp.datasets.len(), 1);
//! ```
