Thanks Janos for opening it on Github!

@Fabien can your please describe your use-cases on github too?
I don't feel good to just copy your answer to the github page. I don't like to copy anyone's answer, even though it's a public mail list. 🙂
Can you also describe a bit in detail "out-of-persist file sources" feature, please?

files or out-of-persist file sources), but also one-shot file parsing, and
tcpdump-like debugging.

I totally agree with you.
My personal use-cases would include your own (ad-hoc handling of disq
files or out-of-persist file sources), but also one-shot file parsing, and
tcpdump-like debugging.
