Incubator-superset: Allow user to decide when to apply "Filter slice" to a dashboard

Created on 1 Mar 2017  路  2Comments  路  Source: apache/incubator-superset

Hi all,

We've been using the filter slice for a while (and liking it!).
My main issue is that anytime I change a field of the filter, each slice of the dashboard instantly refresh itself.
The problem is that, when you have many field to select for your desired results, it will trigger a ton of unnecessary requests (which could be massive and entirely freeze Druid for a few minutes).
We are working around this by filtering on the last minute to make all of those requests tiny, but a simple APPLY FILTER button would make the whole thing a lot more natural.

Sounds reasonable, the FilterBox widget could make that optional with a checkbox control "Instataneous". If checked (default) same as current behavior, if unchecked, a new "Apply" button is exposed and needs to be clicked.
