Hooks

Hooks are a mechanism to add extra behaviour to Kedro’s main execution in an easy and consistent manner. Some examples might include:

  • Adding a log statement after the data catalog is loaded.

  • Adding data validation to the inputs before a node runs, and to the outputs after a node has run. This makes it possible to integrate with other tools like Great-Expectations.

  • Adding machine learning metrics tracking, e.g. using MLflow, throughout a pipeline run.
