Some easy way to populate von keys with data from the past?

Hi!

I really like the whole idea. I have ~year of data that i would like to populate von keys with.

Do you guys have any easy way to do this, other than setting keys manually?

Currently no way to do this. I have thought about trying to handle this in some way, just haven't had time to figure out the best way to do it.

Simplest thing i can think of will be faking time with something like timecop and then setting proper keys. Will it work?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking and it should work.

How about being able to pass a time to the increment method, which will be used instead of the current time when storing the values to redis?

@dipth a kind of Von.increment_at(:my_counter, "2012-01-01") ? This feature would also be interesting to populate Von with seed data for testing.

@bcaccinolo exactly, it would then be a simple task of iterating over your database values and calling the increment_at method to seed redis
