The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a ground-based \γ-ray\nobservatory that will observe the full sky in the energy range from 20 GeV to\n100 TeV from facilities in both hemispheres. It is proposed to consist of more\nthan 100 telescopes, producing large amounts of data. Apart from the storage\nsystem, there are also requirements on the software framework to allow\nefficient data processing, i.e. robustness, execution speed and coding\nefficiency. This contribution will present a plain and simple pipeline\nframework design prototype for CTA that builds upon well-known tools, allowing\nthe users to focus on physics problems without learning complicated software\nparadigms.\n
