Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-1071:
-----------------------------------------
I'm afraid that changing the names of metadata for a connector can't be done in
1.8, because that would break backwards compatibility. Addition of metadata
*only* is permitted in 1.x. For 2.x, we could do the entire patch.
For 1.x, you can use the Metadata Adjuster transformer to rename the metadata
to whatever you want.
Please let me know if changing 2.0 is sufficient to meet your needs.

>
> Right now the connector is overwriting the tika metadata "creation_date" and
> "last_modification_Date" for a document. This is happening because at a
> Windows Shares level you have a creation_date and a last_modification_date
> (related to the creation of the document in the windows shares filesystem)
> that are different from the creation_date and the last_modification_date
> associated to the original file.
> There is the need to change the metadata name to distinguish between this 2
> layers of dates and guaranteeing flexibility to the user to use the one that
> he/she wants with a proper mapping.
> A plus can be to format the date in the lucene standard, to be aligned with a
> proper standard.
> - Url metadata :
> Can be useful to extract the Url and store it in a specific metadata (
> further than the ID of the document). In this way we can keep it as Id but
> also use it with other mappings without affecting the Id field.
> - Parent Directory path :
> Can be useful to extract the Path for the directory that contains the current
> file. Evaluate well this as can be a redundancy or an improvement.
