The Rucio-JupyterLab extension is an optional service that may be deployed to augment a JupyterLab service by adding support for data management within the data lake. It allows the JupyterLab user to discover the availability of data files and datasets, query the current availability of that data within a JupyterLab instance and to request that data be made available on some Jupyter-accessible storage volume that is also part of the Data Lake.
For the user, this provides a easy-to-use graphical interface to understand and manipulate the DataLake, that is conveniently placed within their existing Jupyter environment. Once a Jupyter session is spawned, the extension will be available on the left sidebar.
