All Superinterfaces:

WithDescription, WithName
```
public interface PipelineDescriptor
extends WithName, WithDescription

Describes a pipeline, which is a collection of ordered sources and processors.
The ordering is implementation dependent (i.e. an implementation may return processors in the order they were added, or in the order that makes sense based on their capabilities)
