Worked as expected. +1. > Unify the stellar languages > --------------------------- > > Key: METRON-362 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-362 > Project: Metron > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.2.1BETA > Reporter: Casey Stella > Assignee: Casey Stella > Fix For: 0.2.1BETA > > > At the moment, stellar has some architectural issues: > * The query and transformation languages are distinct despite sharing the > same transformation functions > * The transformation language does not have any notion of the comparison > operations or the logical (aka boolean) functions from the query language > * Neither language has the ability to do arithmetic or even represent > negative numbers as constants > * Neither language has the ability to do simple if/then/else constructs > We should unify the languages and correct the deficiencies as they have come > up in multiple situations. This should be done in a backwards compatible way > so that deployed stellar statements as part of field transformations or > threat triage do not have to change. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
