So you are saying that for a format of eg PDF, filter-media, during its traversal of the assetstore backended on eg SRB, reads the PDF from SRB, extracts text, and stores that as a file back in SRB. Then, once its crawl of the assetstore is done, it reads the extracted text back in from SRB and indexes it. The index then lives in the filesystem, specifically within [dspace]/search.
When I refer to transactions against SRB, I am assuming that those are generic read and write operations in DSpace methods that are calling eg SRB methods. Correct?
