             Summary: STELLAR: Configurations should be able to reference Stellar File 
                 Key: METRON-1046
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-1046
             Project: Metron
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Otto Fowler
            Assignee: Otto Fowler


As we get more and more capability in Stellar, we also get more complexity.
Managing and testing complex stellar statements only by running things through the parsers and enrichment is not idea.

An improvement would be to allow configurations ( enrichment and parser ) to be able to reference a Stellar 'file', which perhaps can be shared between parsers.

This File should should be loaded into a class which presents a clean interface into multiple possible stellar executions, operating on the same message map, returning that map ( or modifying it ).

These files, or what ever we call the abstraction should be testable on their own as well.

The files and their 'updates' can be managed in the same way that the updates to their parent configurations are.
