+## Python Runtime
+The python runtime provides a simple mechanism to run a transform on a set of input data to produce
+a set of output data, all within the python execution environment.
+
+A `PythonTransformLauncher` class is provided that enables the running of the transform.  For example,
+
+```python
+launcher = PythonTransformLauncher(YourTransformConfiguration())
+launcher.launch()

+The `YourTransformConfiguration` class configures your transform.

+# Ray Runtime 
+The Ray runtime includes the following set of components:
+
+* [RayTransformLauncher](../src/data_processing/runtime/ray/transform_launcher.py) - this is a 
+class generally used to implement `main()` that makes use of a `TransformConfiguration` to 
+start the Ray runtime and execute the transform over the specified set of input files.
+The RayTransformLauncher is created using a `RayTransformConfiguration` instance.
+* [RayTransformConfiguration](../src/data_processing/runtime/ray/transform_configuration.py) - this 
+class extends transform's base TransformConfiguration implementation to add an optional 
+`TranformRuntime` (see next) class to be used by the transform implementation.
+* [TransformRuntime](../src/data_processing/runtime/ray/transform_runtime.py) - 
+this provides the ability for the transform implementor to create additional Ray resources 
+and include them in the configuration used to create a transform
+(see, for example, [exact dedup](../../transforms/universal/ededup/src/ededup_transform.py)).
+This also provide the ability to supplement the statics collected by
+[Statistics](../src/data_processing/runtime/ray/transform_statistics.py) (see below).
+
+Roughly speaking the following steps are completed to establish transforms in the RayWorkers
+
+1. Launcher parses the CLI parameters using an ArgumentParser configured with its own CLI parameters 
+along with those of the Transform Configuration, 
+2. Launcher passes the Transform Configuration and CLI parameters to the [RayOrchestrator](../src/data_processing/runtime/ray/transform_orchestrator.py)
+3. RayOrchestrator creates the Transform Runtime using the Transform Configuration and its CLI parameter values
+4. Transform Runtime creates transform initialization/configuration including the CLI parameters,  
+and any Ray components need by the transform.
+5. [RayWorker](../src/data_processing/runtime/ray/transform_table_processor.py) is started with configuration from the Transform Runtime.
+6. RayWorker creates the Transform using the configuration provided by the Transform Runtime.
+7. Statistics is used to collect the statistics submitted by the individual transform, that 
+is used for building execution metadata.

+
+## Ray Transform Launcher
+The [RayTransformLauncher](../src/data_processing/runtime/ray/transform_launcher.py) uses the Transform Configuration
+and provides a single method, `launch()`, that kicks off the Ray environment and transform execution coordinated 
+by [orchestrator](../src/data_processing/runtime/ray/transform_orchestrator.py).
+For example,
+```python
+launcher = RayTransformLauncher(YourTransformConfiguration())
+launcher.launch()
+```
+Note that the launcher defines some additional CLI parameters that are used to control the operation of the 
+[orchestrator and workers](../src/data_processing/runtime/ray/transform_orchestrator_configuration.py) and 
+[data access](../src/data_processing/data_access/data_access_factory.py).  Things such as data access configuration,
+number of workers, worker resources, etc.
+Discussion of these options is beyond the scope of this document 
+(see [Launcher Options](ray-launcher-options) for a list of available options.)
+
+## Ray Transform Configuration
+In general, a transform should be able to run in both the python and Ray runtimes.
+As such we first define the python-only transform configuration, which will then
+be used by the Ray-runtime-specific transform configuration. 
+The python transform configuration implements  
+[TransformConfiguration](../src/data_processing/transform/transform_configuration.py)
+and deifnes with transform-specific name, and implementation 
+and class. In addition, it is responsible for providing transform-specific
+methods to define and capture optional command line arguments.
+```python
+
+class YourTransformConfiguration(TransformConfiguration):
+
+    def __init__(self):
+        super().__init__(name="YourTransform", transform_class=YourTransform)
+        self.params = {}
+        
+    def add_input_params(self, parser: ArgumentParser) -> None:
+        ...
+    def apply_input_params(self, args: Namespace) -> bool:
+        ...
+```
+Next we define the Ray-runtime specific transform configuration as an exension of
+the RayTransformConfiguration and uses the `YourTransformConfiguration` above.
+```python
+    
+class YourTransformConfiguration(RayTransformConfiguration):
+    def __init__(self):
+        super().__init__(YourTransformConfiguration(),
+                         runtime_class=YourTransformRuntime
+```
+This class provides the ability to create the instance of `YourTransformRuntime` class (see below)
+as needed by the Ray runtime.  Note, that not all transforms will require a `runtime_class`
+and can omit this parameter to default to an acceptable runtime class.
+Details are covered in the [advanced transform tutorial](advanced-transform-tutorial.md).
+
+## Transform Runtime
+The 
+[DefaultTableTransformRuntime](../src/data_processing/runtime/ray/transform_runtime.py)
+class is provided and will be 
+sufficient for many use cases, especially 1:1 table transformation.
+However, some transforms will require use of the Ray environment, for example,
+to create additional workers, establish a shared memory object, etc.
+Of course, these transforms will generally not run outside of Ray environment. 
+
+```python
+class DefaultTableTransformRuntime:
+
+    def __init__(self, params: dict[str, Any]):
+        ...
+
+    def get_transform_config(
+        self, data_access_factory: DataAccessFactory, statistics: ActorHandle, files: list[str]
+    ) -> dict[str, Any]:
+        ...
+
+    def compute_execution_stats(self, stats: dict[str, Any]) -> dict[str, Any]:
+        ...
+```
+
+The RayOrchestrator initializes the instance with the CLI parameters provided by the Transform Configurations
+`get_input_params()` method.
+
+The `get_transform_config()` method is used by the RayOrchestrator to create the parameters
+used to initialize the Transform in the RayWorker. 
+This is where additional Ray components would be added to the environment 
+and references added to them, as needed, in the returned dictionary of configuration data
+that will initialize the transform.
+For those transforms that don't need this support, the default implementation
+simpy returns the CLI parameters used to initialize the runtime instance.
+
+The `computed_execution_stats()` provides an opportunity to augment the statistics
+collected and aggregated by the TransformStatistics actor. It is called by the RayOrchestrator
+after all files have been processed.
+
+## Exceptions
+A transform may find that it needs to signal error conditions.
+For example, if a referenced model could not be loaded or
+a given table does not have the expected column.
+In general, it should identify such conditions by raising an exception. 
+With this in mind, there are two types of exceptions:
+
+1. Those that would not allow any tables to be processed (e.g. model loading problem).
+2. Those that would not allow a specific table to be processed (e.g. missing column).
+
+In the first situation the transform should throw an exception from the initializer, which
+will cause the Ray framework to terminate processing of all tables. 
+In the second situation (identified in the `transform()` or `flush()` methods), the transform
+should throw an exception from the associated method.  This will cause only the
+error-causing
+table to be ignored and not written out, but allow continued processing of tables by 
+the transform.
+In both cases, the framework will log the exception as an error.
