Description

I wonder if there is a way to attach an inspect() operator to a collection after the dataflow graph has been created. This would be helpful in situations where I do not know ahead of time which collections I will need to inspect, and I do not want to pay even the small price of attaching inspect() to all collections ahead of time.

Thanks!

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reading the collection and dataflow APIs and the existing inspect operator, then determine whether attaching inspection after graph creation is supported; done means a defined, tested way to inspect a selected collection without attaching inspection to every collection in advance.
