ISSUE-600: data-shell/data/animals.txt is truncated

[agrimstrup]

Added additional records to bring the animals.txt file up to 586 lines as mentioned in the text. Added ellipses to the file listing to indicate more data exists in the file than listed.

Before the change, checked the output of the example
[arne@localhost data]$ cat animals.txt | head -n 5 | tail -n 3 | sort -r
2012-11-06,rabbit
2012-11-06,deer
2012-11-05,raccoon

Added additional records and checked the distribution of values
[arne@localhost data]$ wc -l animals.txt
586 animals.txt

[arne@localhost data]$ cat animals.txt | sort | uniq -c
43 2012-11-05,bear
35 2012-11-05,deer

40 2012-11-07,fox
36 2012-11-07,rabbit
34 2012-11-07,raccoon

Tested the example pipeline to ensure no changes resulted
[arne@localhost data]$ cat animals.txt | head -n 5 | tail -n 3 | sort -r
2012-11-06,rabbit
2012-11-06,deer

If this file is to be updated, the zip file for learners to download also needs updating.

[colinmorris]

This looks good to me, though I'd like to get a +1 from another maintainer before merging this in case there's something I'm missing. @shwina , any thoughts?

[agrimstrup]

@gcapes I didn't see the zip file in the first pass. An updated version of the zip file has been added to the PR.

[gcapes]

Sorry to be late with my thoughts, but is there actually a need to have a larger data set? If the file works for the examples, then it seems fit for purpose.
The suggestion on #600 and #720 to indicate this is a subset of a larger data set seems like it might be a good light-touch fix?

[gdevenyi]

I agree that there's no need for a "full" dataset. The truncation can serve fine as an example of a subset.

[colinmorris]

I'm personally fine with either fix (increasing the file size to match the existing lesson text, or changing the lesson text to match the existing file size). However the former has the advantage that we have a pull request that implements it (right here), and the latter is hypothetical.

Is there a downside to merging this? It seems like a strict improvement over the current state of the lesson.

[shwina]

+1 from me

[gcapes]

Thanks for the PR. This inconsistency looks to have been fixed now.

Thanks again for your contribution.
