Techniques for visualizing dependencies in a data analytics system

One or more non-transitory storage media storing one or more sequences of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause performance of:

• parsing operations of a first analysis object for visualizing data to identify datasets to be visualized via the operations;
• determining, based on the parsing, first dataset dependency information for the first analysis object,
• the first dataset dependency information identifying a first set of one or more datasets to which the operations apply and on which the first analysis object depends, each dataset of the first set of one or more datasets contained in one or more data files stored in a storage media,
• using the first dataset dependency information to cause a visual graph to be presented in a computer graphical user interface, the visual graph comprising one or more nodes representing the first set of one or more datasets and a node representing the first analysis object and one or more edges between the one or more nodes representing the first set of one or more datasets and the node representing the first analysis object, each edge of the one or more edges representing a data dependency of the first analysis object on a respective dataset of the first set of one or more datasets.

A computing system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• storage media;
• and
• instructions stored in the storage media and configured for execution by the one or more processors to perform:
• parsing operations of a first analysis object for visualizing data to identify datasets to be visualized via the operations;
• determining, based on the parsing, first dataset dependency information for the first analysis object,
• the first dataset dependency information identifying a first set of one or more datasets to which the operations apply and on which the first analysis object depends, each dataset of the first set of one or more datasets contained in one or more data files stored in a storage media,
• using the first dataset dependency information to cause a visual graph to be presented in a computer graphical user interface and one or more nodes representing the first set of one or more datasets and a node representing the first analysis object, the visual graph further comprising one or more edges between the one or more nodes representing the first set of one or more datasets and the node representing the first analysis object, each edge of the one or more edges representing a data dependency of the first analysis object on a respective dataset of the first set of one or more datasets.
