Description

From a discussion on the FLP call, there's going to be use cases where we want to make obsdbs and obsfiledbs off of subsets of the data. It might be nice to have options where we didn't have to run check book on data we know is already good enough and we just want to put data in databases. Check book opens all the files and takes awhile to run on each observation.

Research direction

Locate the code paths that build obsdb and obsfiledb and identify where check book is invoked. Determine how database creation could accept a subset of data without running that validation step; done means the databases can be created from already-validated data while preserving the existing checked path.
