Allow Data Import Handler to Archive Files After Processing
-----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SOLR-2851
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2851
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: contrib - DataImportHandler
    Affects Versions: 3.3
            Reporter: Josh Harness
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 3.3


It would be great if, after processing flat files, DIH could place them in an 
archive folder so that other system processes could compress them, delete them, 
etc. We needed this feature, so I extended FileDataSource and decorated the 
InputStreamReader such that when the close method is called, the file is moved 
out of the way. This concrete implementation did exactly what I needed. 
However, a more correct textbook approach would involve refactoring 
FileListEntityProcessor such that it could take a configurable list of 
post-processing action policy/command classes so that the user could provide 
custom behavior that suits nearly any scenario (in a Chain of Responsibility 
style pattern). Nonetheless, I wanted to provide the suggestion, a basic 
one-off concrete implementation of archiving and start the discussion for where 
things might head in the future.
