Overview

Tasks communicate using inputs and outputs, and XComs ("cross-communications") intermediates that.

When you call a TaskFlow function in the DAG file, rather than executing it, you will get an object representing the XCom for the result (an XComArg, that you can use as inputs to downstream tasks and operators.
