Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-969:
----------------------------------------
With the 1.7 API changes, extraction is no longer required at all. So this
ticket should be quite straightforward to resolve. Looking at it today.
> Output connectors that use a JSON description string likely to fail

> Key: CONNECTORS-969
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-969
> Project: ManifoldCF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: File system connector
> Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 1.6.1
> Reporter: Karl Wright
> Assignee: Karl Wright
> Fix For: ManifoldCF 2.0
>
>
> When JSON is used as a description string, the order of terms in JSON is not
> determined - it is hashmap dependent. This means that the strings cannot be
> compared reliably between different versions of Java. Since these strings
> are stored in the database, upgrading java versions for these connectors
> might well cause all records going to them to be reindexed.
> JSON is also quite wordy (although better than XML) and is not a great fit
> for database storage for this reason.
> The alternative is to use the pack primitives that are available from the
> base connector class.
