As data sizes continue to scale, we'd like to be able to support analyzing data directly from a remote repository.
Proposal:
Add commands that allow downloading data from a repository.
We'd suggest direct analysis can be implemented at a later stage, and for now, a download command would suffice.
Alternatives:
We could factor downloading out as a separate tool, however that would require a user to install one more thing. Since we eventually want to support analysis of remote files, we might as well support downloading, which can then be used for analysis in the interim.
Additional context
This work will be funded by the ARDC Platforms grant to OpenEcoacoustics project.
