[jira] [Created] (AIRFLOW-1101) Docs use the term "Pipelines" instead of DAGs

Andrew Chen created AIRFLOW-1101:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Docs use the term "Pipelines" instead of DAGs
                 Key: AIRFLOW-1101
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-1101
             Project: Apache Airflow
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Andrew Chen


It's a bit confusing to use the words "DAGs" and "pipelines" interchangeably. Here are a couple examples where it is especially confusing.

https://airflow.incubator.apache.org/ui.html#code-view
"Transparency is everything. While the code for your pipeline is in source control, this is a quick way to get to the code that generates the DAG and provide yet more context."

https://airflow.incubator.apache.org/configuration.html#connections
"The pipeline code you will author will reference the ‘conn_id’ of the Connection objects."
"Connections in Airflow pipelines can be created using environment variables."

"If all your boxes have a common mount point, having your pipelines files shared there should work as well"
