[jira] [Created] (METRON-438) Back the Stellar REPL with a readline implementation

Casey Stella created METRON-438:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Back the Stellar REPL with a readline implementation
                 Key: METRON-438
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-438
             Project: Metron
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Casey Stella
            Assignee: Casey Stella


The REPL as it currently stands is great, but it could be closer in-line with the more popular REPL's by being backed by a readline implementation.

Specifically, we should:
* add variable assignment
* add the ability to do reverse searches in the history
* add the ability to use the arrow keys to recover previous inputs
* add the ability to adjust input via ~/.inputrc
* add autocomplete for function names and variable names
