As the technical lead, resolve the debate between Engineer A (OOP) and Engineer B (FP) by providing a detailed explanation that addresses the merits and drawbacks of each paradigm for a data processing pipeline, and proposes a hybrid approach. Your explanation should cover:

1. Introduction: Acknowledge both paradigms and state the goal.
2. Case for Object-Oriented Programming (OOP): Explain principles, advantages, and drawbacks for data pipelines.
3. Case for Functional Programming (FP): Explain principles, advantages, and drawbacks for data pipelines.
4. Recommendation: A Hybrid Approach: Propose and justify a hybrid model, providing examples of where each paradigm would be applied, and discuss the overall benefits.
