8.2 Flow Granularity

Even though having one large Flow may result in a slightly more efficient execution plan, it is much more modular and flexible to give smaller Flows well defined responsibilities and to hand all the dependent Flow instances to a Cascade for execution as a single unit. Using the TextDelimited Scheme between Flow instances also provides a means to hand intermediate data off to other systems for reporting or QA with minimal penalty while remaining compatible with other tools.
