load

Command-line tool subcommand

Load the output data for a given pipeline module from a tarball previously created by the dump command (typically on another machine). This is primarily to support spreading the execution of a pipeline between multiple machines, so that the output from a module can easily be transferred and loaded into a pipeline.

Dump to a tarball using the dump command, transfer the file between machines and then run this command to import it there.
