Abstract: A system, and a corresponding method, that allow a programmer to create and edit a data-flow employing multiple execution engines are provided. The system includes a data-flow editor and a data-flow translator. The method includes providing an illustration of the data-flow and metadata associated with the data-flow on a graphical user interface; representing the data-flow and the metadata by a first code language; dividing the data-flow illustrated on the graphical user interface into fragments; and translating the first code language into the execution code language of the execution engine corresponding to each of the fragments.
