It would be nice if the stat. converters and loaders were able to run
as filters, so you could do something like:

  gunzip < foo.log | dspace stats-log-converter | dspace stats-log-importer

but no:  ClassicDSpaceLogConverter requires named files.  Would anyone
have a problem with writing the status messages to System.err instead
of System.out, so System.out is free for pipelining?

There's no decompression support that I can see.  Maybe you can NFS or
CIFS mount one machine to another?

If you copy [DSpace]/bin and /lib and /config to a spare box, I think
that might work (but *test* this, because I haven't!)  I don't think
the converter uses any external data except what you give it, and the
importer should only need to know where Solr can be reached.  However
Solr would have to be listening on a socket that can be reached from
the second machine.

The simplest way is probably just to use the second machine as a
storage server and do the work on the DSpace host.
