------------------------------------
Summary: Coalesce data sources into one module
Key: CLIMATE-825
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLIMATE-825
Project: Apache Open Climate Workbench
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: data sources
Affects Versions: 1.0.0
Reporter: Alex Goodman
Assignee: Huikyo Lee
Fix For: 1.2
Kyo and I will be working on overhauling the way data loading is handled in the
current RCMES workflow. Right now, the user manually specifies the sources for
each dataset which are currently separated into three categories: local files
on disk, the RCMES database (RCMED), and the Earth System Grid (ESGF). These
cases are currently handled in separate modules / function calls, but it would
be most ideal in the future to create one universal function call for all the
data loading. An example schematic would be something like:
datasets = load(sources, ...)
Here datasets would be a list of OCW Dataset objects, sources would be a list
of source specifications for each requested dataset (eg, 'esgf', 'local', or
'rcmed'). Ideally we would also like better support for handling datasets
spanned by multiple files as well.
