Github user ottobackwards commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/856 So, the scenario here is checking things that *were* valid when uploaded, but have been invalidated by external changes ( language changes ). I would like to keep the magic specific. I think the functionality for the management functions is valid, but can we do that as a separate Jira/PR? I'll do it, I just want to keep this tight. If you create the jira and assign it to me that would be super. I would do the files on disk using the management functions as well. So we just need to think of the stellar interface for calling `VALIDATE` with a string, and with a file path. Also saying what configuration type it is. Does that make sense?
