> Project: ManifoldCF
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Framework crawler agent

> Reporter: Karl Wright

> The way a connector writer is supposed to handle documents that should not be
> indexed is not clear. The IProcessActivity interface provides a method,
> deleteDocument(id), which removes the document from the index. But it does
> not record the version string when it does this, making that method only
> really useful for the case where the version string is empty. For cases
> where the version string is non-empty, you are supposed to use
> ingestDocument(id,version,null,null), which works fine to record the version
> string and allow for change detection, but is very non-obvious to the user.
> Suggestion is to add a new variant of deleteDocument(), which takes both an
> id and version, and decides automatically whether to use ingestDocument() or
> deleteDocument() based on the contents of the version string. Also, the old
> deleteDocument(id) variant should be deprecated.
