I have a question about the results returned by the api when requesting the download activity of a dataset. /occurrence/download/dataset/{datasetKey} https://www.gbif.org/developer/occurrence#download
Where can I find a description of the possible "status" of a given download? (I found at least 6 different values in our datasets activity).
I understand that KILLED, FAILED, RUNNING, PREPARING ... can all be interpreted as "nobody has (still) used that information". Whereas a "SUCCEEDED" download means the opposite.
But what about "FILE_ERASED http://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/0000316-140429114108248"? Does it mean the download was "SUCCEEDED" in the past, and some time later the info was deleted? (when looking at old downloads, the percentage of FILE_ERASED is much higher).
If I want to evaluate real usage of a dataset along years, should I better use the sum of "SUCCEEDED + FILE_ERASED". Right?
Also, I understand that the sum of SUCCEEDED + FILE_ERASED downloads for a given dataset and year, should be the same if somebody repeats the query in the future (whereas the sum of SUCCEEDED downloads will decrease).
Thanks a lot for your help David
