      Description

      A "coaddTempExp" is an exposure warped to our skymap frame, and originally gained that name because they are temporary products used for creating a coadd.

      The name "coaddTempExp" is arguably obscure and inaccurate. It is obscure because it hasn't been used within astronomy before, and it confuses newcomers. It is inaccurate because they needn't be temporary, and they have uses beyond coaddition. In Pan-STARRS, the same products are termed "warps", have been used for their versions of diffim and multifit, and were commonly requested for download because of their convenience (sharing a common WCS).

      I propose we adopt the name used by Pan-STARRS. The coaddTempExp product would become warp, and makeCoaddTempExp.py would become warpToSkyFrame.py (or similar).

            I don't think we agreed on a task name change following the revision of the dataset name change. I agree it should go on a separate ticket.

            Paul Price the work triggered by this RFC has been completed. Does this mean the RFC can be marked implemented?

            This was marked as implemented, but DM-4634 was closed as won't fix: I'd like to reopen that to finish this off (as it stands, the warp datasets are produced by the makeCoaddTempExpTask, which is both confusing and an unnecessary mouthful). I think makeWarpTask is a much better alternative, and aligns with the new name of this task.

            DM-4634 is not a triggered ticket for this RFC. If that was a mistake please update the ticket linking.

            The discussion above is a little unclear, but the consensus seems to be that changes to the name of the task should go “on a separate ticket”, which (given the context) I understand to mean on a separate RFC. I therefore don't think that DM-4634 should be regarded as having been triggered by this RFC.
