[kepler-dev] data turbine actor query

[Stephen Cameron]

Hello,

I am intending to make use of Data Turbine for presenting real-time data 
streams to visitors to an oceans data portal that we are developing for 
the IMOS project (http://www.imos.org.au).
 
I am interested to find out more about the Kepler "Data Turbine Actor" 
that is currently under development. I require a means of loading data 
into Data Turbine from a variety of different data files (CSV, netCDF) 
and would like a configurable generic solution if possible, using the 
Kepler framework may be a possible solution. The reported Data Turbine 
Actor seems to be a means of getting data from Data Turbine but maybe 
some work has been done on the other side as well.

I am interested in Kepler from the point of view of setting up scheduled 
workflows as well, basically to look for a file in a certain local or 
remote location, see if it is a new file or has changed and process any 
new data. Is this a sensible use for Kepler?

Thanks for your assistance.
