Michael J. Carey commented on ASTERIXDB-2900:
---------------------------------------------
An example of such a feature can be found in the way that Neo4J handles its
data loading:
[https://neo4j.com/docs/cypher-manual/current/clauses/load-csv/.|https://neo4j.com/docs/cypher-manual/current/clauses/load-csv/]
One could imagine maybe adding this as a SQL++ WITH-clause variant, as the WITH
clause essentially introduces a temporary view with a local-to-a-query name -
thereby avoiding the need to clutter the namespace/metadata of a dataverse and
to have to explicitly define and then delete temporary views.

> Creating a temporary dataset that references data in an external data source
> (e.g., local file, s3, hdfs). It would be nice to be able to interact with
> external data but not having to drop that external dataset afterward.
