in the absence of docs - need some real world, readable examples

[klmcwhirter]

Thanks for submitting an issue!

• If this is a feature request, please make sure you explain the context, the goal, and why it is something that would go into bonobo core. Drafting some bits of spec is a good idea too, even if it's very draft-y.

• If this is a bug report, make sure you describe the expected and actual behaviour, eventually some minimal code or steps to reproduce the problem.

• If this is a question, please post it on slack overflow, and simply paste the question URL in an issue or in the slack channel. Also, when you get an answer, please consider contributing back the bits of documentation you would have loved to find in the first place.

Versions

• Bonobo version:

  bonobo version --all
  bonobo v.0.6.4 (in /home/klmcw/src/github.com/klmcwhirter/py-etl-explore/jenv/lib/python3.7/site-packages)

Note: --all switch is not accepted.

• Python version:

  python -c "import platform,sys; print(platform.python_implementation() + ' ' + sys.version)"

CPython 3.7.7 (default, Mar 13 2020, 10:23:39)
[GCC 9.2.1 20190827 (Red Hat 9.2.1-1)]

• Platform:

  uname -a
/etc/lsb-release
  ...
  Linux fedyoga 5.6.13-200.fc31.x86_64 [doc] Basic documentation #1 SMP Thu May 14 23:26:14 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Note: the second line is in error. it is missing the cat command and that file does not exist on Fedora

I expect that in the absence of documentation that there would be working examples for 0.6.4 that a normal human being can read. Your examples make too many assumptions about familiarity,

I need to understand how to do standard E-T-L. Can I do transform against anything other than a tuple?

But more importantly, is this project dead? It does not seem that any meaningful changes have been made in quite a while. At least on the master branch.

I like the concepts you present. But I am concerned about fighting too hard about its usage.

Keep in mind I will eventually have offshore junior resources doing work with it.

Thanks for some great conceptual design work anyway!
