Feature Request: command-line application of operation history. #199

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I love that I can import and export a change history as json.  The one tiny 
additional feature that would make this blockbuster for me would be the ability 
to call the server side from the command line, specifying a data file, import 
parameters, a history file containing Refine changes, and export parameters.  
Then Refine would read the data, apply the changes, and write the data.  

We do data cleanup all the time, but in order to make the process auditable, we 
require that all data cleaning operations be scriptable and the original 
datafile left untouched.  Then all of our analysis, including the data 
cleansing that happens first, can be re-executed in one step if any part of it 
(including the original data or the data cleansing ops) changes.

Count me in for this. I'd love to be able to apply a change history to multiple 
files in an automated way.

"In" as in contributing code to make it happen?  i.e. Should we assign the 
feature request to you so that people know it's being worked on?

I'm looking into it seriously, but not sure I have the time to commit. 

It might be important enough to me to write it myself, so I'll keep my eye here 
as I poke around the source code. I'd love to contribute, so if I make any 
headway I'll let you know.
