Should we implement remote access to files? #23

As commented on a telecon with David and Kyle today, there are files that we may want to be able to access local and remotely via Marvin but that don't want to load in the DB (e.g., the DAP logcubes), as they would increase its size significantly and we don't plan on querying them.

To access those files remotely we would need to change how the local mode works so that, if there is a DB but it does not contain the data the user is requesting, it tries to use the files before failing.

I say we punt this question to post Beta release. And we can see if this feature is high in demand

That sounds reasonable to me.
