SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATED MAPPING OF DATA TYPES FOR USE WITH DATAFLOW ENVIRONMENTS

In accordance with various embodiments, described herein is a system (Data Artificial Intelligence system, Data AI system), for use with a data integration or other computing environment, that leverages machine learning (ML, DataFlow Machine Learning, DFML), for use in managing a flow of data (dataflow, DF), and building complex dataflow software applications (dataflow applications, pipelines). In accordance with an embodiment, the system can provide support for auto-mapping of complex data structures, datasets or entities, between one or more sources or targets of data, referred to herein in some embodiments as HUBs. The auto-mapping can be driven by a metadata, schema, and statistical profiling of a dataset; and used to map a source dataset or entity associated with an input HUB, to a target dataset or entity or vice versa, to produce an output data prepared in a format or organization (projection) for use with one or more output HUBs.
