h1. API Historical/Forcasting data for CR

Goal: create a pipeline forecaster and visualization for historical data. This should expose APIs that can be used in the ContainerRequest visualization and 

also could be use to provide extra information for the current running CR

Glossary:

* Checkpoint: is a generic name that currently corresponds to a step name. This id together with "family" make a unique cluster to summarize results. This summarization for the unique cluster includes: a) several runs with similar parameters and b) scattered steps that have the pattern: name_2, name_3,..., name_229

* Family: A common name like "gatk" or "haplotypecaller" can be used as a step name. The family definition will help to separate the 2 populationsn terms of checkpoints. We think that implementing this based the parameters of CommandLineTool and parent workflow md5sum or a combination of both

* Datapoint: a concrete data that can be plotted as historical data. Currently we're bounding together the container request and the associated container to have a unified view of the times involved. This should not get confused with forecast data since can be used separately

h2. API 

The "checkpoints" endpoint is where the stadistics that will be used as forecasting. Right now as an example we'll start with time_* keys, but in the future this will expose all the data needed to do an acurate forecast.

h2. Frontend

Dot file can be rendered with  https://domparfitt.com/graphviz-react/ we already tested some big files 

h2. Schema and queries on the postgres DB 

TODO: Outline the transformation from the current local leveldb cache to some per-user caching table.  

TODO: list the queries to INSERT and SELECT the data for a particular checkpoint. 

h2. Permissions

One concern is permissions. we'll behave similar to everything else in Arvados: if it's a CR that the token doesn't have access to, then is a 404. This includes the idea of "sumarized data" as in the historical time and prices of the CRs 

h2. Real World Example

Take the case of su92l-xvhdp-bs4tseq26te2bnz ( a hasher function that Ops usually use as smoke test)
