Github user merrimanr commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/853 Here are my thoughts on your responses. 1. I think we're in agreement. This is how this PR currently works. 2. No, saved searches are currently stored client-side. I think the plan was to store these server-side but it hasn't been implemented yet. The only thing we store in a relational DB at this point are REST user credentials. This would change if we switch to an LDAP approach for managing authentication (I think we should) and nothing we be stored in a DB at that point. 3. Agreed. 4. Agreed. I don't see much value in versioning a user's displayable facet fields. 5. My point here is that a more flexible store for things like this (user profile settings) may eliminate this upgrade complexity altogether. 6. I'm good with that.
