PipelineOutputTabularDataset Class

Represent intermediate pipeline data promoted to an Azure Machine Learning Tabular Dataset.

Once an intermediate data is promoted to an Azure Machine Learning Dataset, it will also be consumed as a Dataset instead of a DataReference in subsequent steps.

Create an intermediate data that will be promoted to an Azure Machine Learning Dataset.
