Suresh Marru commented on AIRAVATA-819:
---------------------------------------
Heshan I agree this is a needed capability. For API usage, this will be
trivial, because the client which calls the API can read such kind of a file
and pass the comma seeprated values. How do you propose this XBaya? Add a new
helper component?

> Let me explain what I've meant here.
> In case of a usecase like gene sequence alignment, you might give 1000s of
> gene sequences as the input. In a situation like that, what we have to do is
> to have comma separated string with the inputs. In my usecase, it's not
> practical because a single sequence strand is having a substantial length.
> Therefore, I think it'll be easier for the user, if we provide a mechanism
> where the user can give the input as a file and instead of the comma
> delimiter, we could use a "new line".
> This is something which I felt needed when doing some testing with the
> EC2Provider.
