question re: span logic across record types

[Emily Greenfest-Allen]

Hi-

When compiling my model I received the following error:

Exception in thread "Main Thread" org.gusdb.wdk.model.WdkModelException:
The recordClasses referred in answerParam spanParams.span_a doesn't have
same primary key definitions.

(full trace below)

Because the primary key of our GeneRecordClasses.GeneRecordClass is
gene_id and the primary key of the dynSpan record class is, of course,
source_id. To test this, I changed our gene record primary key to
source_id and the model parsed successfully.

However, this may not be a viable solution for us to change the primary
key of the gene record. Is this constraint necessary? If so, could we
potentially customize/extend the behavior that requires these to be
equal. On our end we will also assess the impact of changing the
primary key on this record type.

Thanks,

Emily
