Haystack with Temporal..

[GiorgosAlexakis]

Any plans to use temporal as an execution engine?

If not, what abstractions could be introduced so someone can do this in a forked version of the repository?

Hello @GiorgosAlexakis we don't have plans for that and so far I haven't seen this idea in the community. I am not a Temporal expert but my understanding is that Haystack's component abstraction and the component's run (or async_run) method is related to Temporal's Activity. Similarly, Haystack's Pipeline seem related to Temporal's concept of Workflows.
Could you please share a bit more about why you would like to use temporal as an execution engine together with Haystack?
