I suggest Barbie and I (and others) talk this out in Paris at the end
of the month.

MongoDB is the leading candidate to replace Amazon's SimpleDB as the
indexed part of Metabase storage and one (crazy?) option is to set up
people who need it (cpandeps, analysis) with replicated slaves
(without allowing external read-access -- essentially backup slaves).
Then it would pretty much stay up to date automatically and be fast to
query locally.

Another option is to finally get the web query API opened up to the
public so people could pull their own datasets from Metabase on a
regular basis.

But as I said, I'd rather we hammer this out in person rather than do
something hasty and have yet another patchwork solution.
