> @ottobackwards: Can we load files from disk? It would be nice to not have
had to setup kafka etc.
There is no requirement to setup Kafka. All you have to do is create a
String that contains your message. If you want to get that message from Kafka,
create it yourself using `SHELL_EDIT`, or copy-paste, then it works all the
same.
In this PR you cannot load from disk.
> Create a Parser Debugger

> Project: Metron
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Nick Allen
> Assignee: Nick Allen
> Priority: Major
>
> Users need a way to test their parser configurations in a controlled
> environment. This would allow a user to tweak and test the parser
> configuration before deploying it into a live Metron cluster. The user could
> also use the REPL to understand why a particular message failed to parse
> correctly.
> This could follow the pattern of the [Profiler
> Debugger|https://github.com/apache/metron/tree/master/metron-analytics/metron-profiler#creating-profiles]
> and [Threat Triage
> Simulator|https://github.com/apache/metron/tree/master/metron-platform/metron-management#simulate-threat-triage-rules].
> This allows a user to apply canned messages against a configuration and
> inspect the output, all within the REPL.
