             Summary: Update ExpImpCatalog tool to allow core Metadata to pass 
through when Embedded Catalogs are used
                 Key: OODT-543
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-543
             Project: OODT
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: file manager
         Environment: Found on VFASTR transient detection project
            Reporter: Chris A. Mattmann
            Assignee: Chris A. Mattmann
            Priority: Blocker
             Fix For: 0.5


[~cinquini] and I found an issue with the ExpImpCatalog tool in the following 
scenario:

# Original src catalog is Lucene and thus uses string-based UUIDs for product 
identification
# Dest catalog is MySQL (DataSource-based) and numeric IDs are used for product 
identification
# Embedded catalogs are used for src and dest to speed things up

In the above scenario, on lines 251-253 in ExpImpCatalog, the core CAS metadata 
is removed, but never added back in. So, because of this, despite having a 
numeric product ID, we were seeing on our transient detection project which 
uses a PHP-Apache OODT balance based portal that keys off the CAS.ProductId met 
field (which previously was a string) that the web pages weren't loading.

This led me to investigate and find a bug in the ExpImpCatalog Tool. It's 
simple: If the dest catalog is an embedded mode catalog then we shouldn't 
remove the default CAS fields b/c server side extraction won't get called as it 
does when using URL-server mode based ExpImpCatalog imports with the source and 
dest URLs supplied.

I'll fix this shortly. The fix is simple: if embedded catalog mode, don't 
remove the CAS default fields.
