--------------------------------------
Summary: Rethink how document version string is used in
IRepositoryConnector for communicating "always retry" and "delete document"
Key: CONNECTORS-983
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-983
Project: ManifoldCF
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Framework crawler agent
Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 2.0
Reporter: Karl Wright
Assignee: Karl Wright
Fix For: ManifoldCF 2.0
Right now, all IPipelineConnector implementations require specification
information to be packed into a version string. This is enforced by the fact
that the methods that use this information do not receive a Specification
object with which to work directly -- which guarantees consistency between
version string and what is indexed.
IRepositoryConnector, on the other hand, still passes Specification objects to
all methods. This is in part because version strings in IRepositoryConnector
have an extended meaning: a blank value means that the document must be
refetched on the very next crawl attempt. It would be better, perhaps, to
separate these concerns and come up with a common way of dealing with version
strings.
