Konrad Windszus updated SLING-10318:
------------------------------------
Description:
There are 4 boolean flags which influence the import behaviour:
1. overwrite
1. overwriteProperties
1. merge
1. mergeProperties
The latter two have been added with SLING-8243. Currently the behaviour
differs between JSON and XML Import and also from the Javadoc at the
differences between {{overwrite}} and {{merge}} is not really clear
(https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-jcr-contentloader/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/jcr/contentloader/ImportOptions.java).
For me the flag {{merge}} seems a bit misleading, as the javadoc indicates this
will replace all old content (nodes and properties or only nodes). Usually when
you refer to a merge you also keep some part of the existing content. It seems
that {{merge}} should rather be named something like {{replace}}. WDYT?
