  --end TEXT                      End datetime 'YYYY-MM-DD'  [required]
  --granularity [FIVE_MIN|HOURLY|DAILY]
                                  Granularity of the time series data  [required]
  --dims TEXT                     + separated list of dimensions definition of format 'name:function:values'  [required]
  --mets TEXT                     + separated list of metrics definition trends of format 'name:trend(*params)'  [required]

  --end "2019-01-12" \
  --granularity "FIVE_MIN" \
  --dims "product:random_choice:A,B,C,D" \
  --dims "product_id:random_float:1,4" \
  --dims "const:constant:5" \
  --mets "sales:LinearTrend(limit=500)+WeekendTrend(weekend_effect=50)" \
  --mets "trend:LinearTrend(limit=10)" \
  --output "data.csv"
