Add a REST interface to prune, or modify data in the persistence store. This should allow the user to manually modify or remove data.

The use case is to allow removal of invalid data. We've all got sensors that periodically throw out a random value and it completely screws up the historical data. This interface would allow the user to modify this data to remove such rogue entries.

This could be combined with Bug 423508 depending on the implementation planned for that bug.

Just for the record: There were some previous discussions about this here: openhab/openhab1-addons#24

A REST interface alone probably won't suffice, but we will have to introduce another persistence service interface, which also allows active data manipulation (crud).

Yes - absolutely correct. As discussed previously this needs a CRUD persistence interface with appropriate user access control (when this is available).
