Putting Lipstick on Pig: Enabling Database-style Workflow Provenance
Summary: Lipstick unifies database- and workflow-style provenance by exposing modules through Pig Latin, capturing fine-grained input dependencies and evolving internal state beyond black-box models. Compact invocation-centric graphs enable ZoomIn/ZoomOut queries and what-if analysis, with feasibility demonstrated in Lipstick. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
