Github user cestella commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/687 Hmm, so this is an interesting one. We sorta have a de facto assignment outside of stellar, but I'd be interested in having it moved into stellar like this. I'd also be sorta ok with it being `=`, but we chose `:=` earlier, so that is an open question as to whether it should be consistent. Also, it seems like processing a stellar statement should return 2 things now: 1. the output value 2. optionally a variable assigned We should also refactor the `StellarAssignment` class to use this somehow. Other than that, this seems extremely promising!
