Weirdly, I never put a knob in place to make this possible, although it should be, trivially.
We have long talked about adding support for open questions, where we proceed in two phases: collect responses, then have workers rank responses. It is not clear how many responses...
E.g., map, fold, etc. These work a bit like LINQ/functional programming, except that we may be lazy in the computation graph construction sense but maybe not in the function-evaluation sense....
data.automan_map { e => foo(e) }.automan_map { e=> bar(e) } if pipelined, would allow us to compute bar(foo(e)) without having to block after the first map before the second could...
It's not obvious how to use it, and I myself have forgotten some of the finer details.
