Claim 10:
11. A system for providing access to hidden state information within operators of a data processing system, comprising:
a processor; and
a computer memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
generating state information within an operator of the data processing system based on an input received from a data source;
generating an output utilizing the operator based on the state information, wherein the state information is not included in the output;
receiving, from a querying entity, a graph query to retrieve the state information from the operator, wherein the state information is not available via querying the operator;
based on the graph query, accessing a node of an object information data structure via an object interface, wherein the node symbolically represents the operator by storing a copy of the state information of the operator, and wherein the object information data structure is a separate data structure from the operator that provides access to a node; and
providing the copy of the state information from the object information data structure in response to the querying entity.
