Thad, Based on your description that OpenRefine uses similar techniques as Zeeplin then I *think* the reading and writing will work.
The Undo/Redo I am fuzzy on as. I will try over the next couple of days and see if I can make something like this work (at lest a trivial use case). Personally I think it would be cool to allow business users to wrangle data with OpenRefine with the power of Flink behind it.
