@nickwallen @cestella @mattf-horton , Sorry, I thought that question was
more to @mattf-horton at the time.
@cestella I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. Are you saying
that we should not do assignment until we overhaul the current mechanisms?
That this is too much a 1/2 measure?
> 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.
