We introduce Yedalog, a declarative programming language that allows programmers to mix data-parallel pipelines and computation seamlessly in a single language. By contrast, most existing tools for data-parallel computation embed a sublanguage of data-parallel pipelines in a general-purpose language, or vice versa. Yedalog extends Datalog, incorporating not only computational features from logic programming, but also features for working with data structured as nested records. Yedalog programs can run both on a single machine, and distributed across a cluster in batch and interactive modes, allowing programmers to mix different modes of execution easily.

# Code to execute for each document:

# Computes parent-child relationships

# Computes nodes that transitively descend from "influenced"
Descendants{t: c} :- T[p] == {text: "influenced", .._}, c == Child{p};
Descendants{t: c} :- Descendants{t: p}, c == Child{p};
# Counts nodes in which each entity appears under the verb "influenced".
