Description

Expected Behavior
Actual Behavior
  • Currently DownloaderDataProvider can take a single downloader instance. This class is used by the lean cli when passing data providers to use
Potential Solution
  • Ideally DownloaderDataProvider can take an array of downloader instances to use, like we do with IDQH and history providers, so that we can merge multiple different data provider sources. Once implemented in lean, lean cli needs to be updated to provide them

Research direction

Start by locating DownloaderDataProvider and the Lean CLI wiring that supplies data providers. Compare how IDQH and history providers accept multiple sources. Done means DownloaderDataProvider supports multiple downloader instances and the Lean CLI passes them through.
