0012772: Decouple analysis data from user-created Analysis instances
From Brian email - July 19th

- Many of the best planned features require data from multiple Analysis
  * Volcano plot already does this: fold change + t-test
  * Most of Wes's ideas about synergies between analysis and pathways require this
- It would be great to have a common pool of shared analysis outputs / data available
- When a user runs an Analysis, it could fetch from this shared data.
- Using or contributing to the pool is optional. Existing Analysis can continue to compute private data.
- The shared data could be computed lazily, as it's needed by a user-run Analysis.
- Once computed the first time, the data would remain the pool for fast access later.
- Some pieces of shared data, like pathway info, could be generated / prefetched in the background, to make it quickly ready when needed.
- Possible issues could arise if we modify the underlying data.
  * We wanted to be able to hide unimportant Analytes / Experiments. This could invalidate certain existing types of multivariate analysis outputs.
- Memory issues could arise with very large data sets.
- Some types of data may have analysis parameters associated with them. We could store separate data instances for each unique set of parameters (be lazy with this, of course).
