Could you extract the code between lines 1770 - 1775 and 1776 - 1780 to methods with a little test case and Javadoc explaining what the methods do, the params that they use and what they return? Another thing, how about you replace the logic in 'if's at lines 2272, 2283 and 2291 for a method with a little test case and a Javadoc, that receives 2 params, (List<String> skipDatastores, String name ) and returns skipDatastores == null || !skipDatastores.contains(name). Ty.
