How to set or ignore state? Like if I want to instruct the tap to extract the full data set, or manually set state?

@adam_roderick There's not currently a way to do either: if a
job_id
is provided to
meltano elt
, it'll use the latest matching
job
record's state unconditionally. Adding some option to do a full extraction aka pass no state seems reasonable and should be pretty straightforward! Wanna create an issue? 🙂 As for manually setting state, what's your use case?

Ignoring state and doing a full load is good enough. I was just thinking ahead a little about manually setting state

Makes sense! If you create an issue I'll get to it eventually, or you can have a crack at implementing it yourself with my guidance— it really should be pretty straightforward 🙂

woohoo!
