User Story: As a new user of Meltano, I want to do a test where I invoke a pipeline twice and observe that Meltano resumes where it left off.
Discussion: job-id is not a required parameter to ELT and when not supplied, a one-time job id is generated and used. There is no indication to the user what that job-id is or that you must supply one for state to be reused by future invocations.
Suggested Solutions:
• At least display the job id used in the output
• Generate a job id based only on the tap/target so that future invocations will get the same default job id
• Require a Job ID
• Improve the docs the explain this nuance
