+## data management
+If your training data is not too large, it could be put into codeDir, and nni will upload the data to hdfs, or you could build your own docker image with the data. If you have large dataset, it's not appropriate to put the data in codeDir, and you could follow the [guidance](https://github.com/microsoft/pai/blob/master/docs/user/storage.md) to mount the data folder in container.
