I thought you already had the results of the transformations in several
dataset files. If it deforms "as you visualize" maybe you could calculate
the new points on the fly and update them in your existing dataset object.
Or use the method Tuhin suggests.

I suggested not to multiply the whole pipeline - only the readers and their
datasets.
