//
// Pipelining function for DataTables. To be used to the `ajax` option of DataTables
//
$.fn.dataTable.pipeline = function (opts) {
    console.log($(this))

        pages: 2,     // default number of pages to cache
        url:'',      // script url
        data: '',   // function or object with parameters to send to the server
        // matching how `ajax.data` works in DataTables
        method: 'POST' // Ajax HTTP method
    }, opts);
    // Private variables for storing the cache
    var cacheLower = -1;
    var cacheUpper = null;
    var cacheLastRequest = null;
    var cacheLastJson = null;

            ajax = true;
            settings.clearCache = false;
        }
        else if (cacheLower < 0 || requestStart < cacheLower || requestEnd > cacheUpper) {

How you are calling the $.fn.dataTable.pipeline( {

Can I call it like this.

var result = $.ajax($.fn.dataTable.pipeline( {
url: 'data.json',
pages: 1
} )).done(function () {
//
}).fail(function (result, exception) {
//
});
