Goals
- Add the ability to import data from a file, stream, etc into Concourse
Background and strategic fit
We need to give users the ability to bulk import data into Concourse. This data may be in different formats (i.e. SQL, CSV, etc) in various formats (i.e. file, url, stream, etc). This feature will enable more testing because it will be easier to seed Concourse with large and diverse data sets. This feature will also lead to increased Concourse usage by third party applications because they will be able to take data from their existing stores and bring it into Concourse.
Assumptions
- This feature will be used to seed testing environments
- This feature will be used by technical end-users to initially seed their staging Concourse deployment for testing and comparison with legacy databases.
- This feature will be used by technical end-users to initially seed their production Concourse deployment.
- The typical end-user is technically competent and has access to the command line
- Data sets will come in various formats, including SQL, CSV, Excel, etc
- Data sets will come in various forms, including file, url, stream, etc
