Ideally we'd know things like: - what's the main/most important datetime column here? (first one in the dataset flagged as temporal is likely to be good but not guaranteed to be that most important time column) - what's the latest data point for that column? (depending on the indexing/partionning, figuring that out may require a full table scan and take some time, we could read the index definition if we wanted to do some magic) - what's the time grain? (unclear how to figure that out reliably) In any case, having that metadata for dataset is useful, and could be set by users. Things like primary metric, primary time column, default time filter, expected freshness, primary dimension, ...Then we can use these dataset settings to set defaults when creating new charts. We could also have a way to detect/guess these upon dataset creation, but let user alter/tweak them. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
