Harvester 2.0: [1/4d] Update a DCATUS dataset on CKAN

[rshewitt]

User Story

datagov wants the ability to update a DCATUS dataset using the CKAN API in the new harvesting repo

Acceptance Criteria

[ACs should be clearly demoable/verifiable whenever possible. Try specifying them using BDD.]

• GIVEN a set of parameters to update and an ID to a DCATUS dataset on CKAN
  AND a data.gov catalog-like CKAN system is running independently
  WHEN the "update dataset"-equivalent function is called
  THEN the DCATUS dataset will be updated in CKAN

Background

the current harvesting solution is being replaced. in the short-term, the CKAN catalog is intended to persist so the "0.1" harvester replacement needs to offer CKAN dataset update.

Security Considerations (required)

[Any security concerns that might be implicated in the change. "None" is OK, just be explicit here!]

Sketch

• create a function which updates a DCATUS dataset via CKAN API
  • package_update and package_patch
• verify dataset has been updated.
• Document any bugs or strangeness with the dataset display on the UI, or any differences in the data via the API.
