Github user nickwallen commented on the issue:

> @cestella Migration, sadly sometimes, is also part of user experience. :)
Very true. That's why I offered up the ["Alternative
Option"](https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/687#issuecomment-358754026).
Only my own laziness makes me "mildly against" that :) . But based on
user experience (like you mention), I think we should probably do it.
> STELLAR Add Assignment capability to Stellar language

> Key: METRON-1090
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1090
> Project: Metron
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Otto Fowler
> Assignee: Otto Fowler
> Priority: Major
>
> Add support for =, +=, -=, *=, /= for variables in stellar.
> foo = 5 returns 5 AND sets foo to 5 if the VariableResolver supports it.
> The shell should be changed to assign variables using this syntax, because
> exposing the left side to stellar allows catching errors for invalid keywords
> in left side.
