I would like to change the code import worker monitor processes to not talk to the database directly, but mediate everything via the internal xml-rpc server. This will make setting up a new machine much easier, (slightly) reduce the impact of any compromise and work around a bug I have no other ideas on how to fix (#510490).
It's all easy enough, apart from one thing: the need to upload the log file of the import to the librarian. These log files can get pretty large and staging them through the internal xml-rpc server just seems wasteful silly. Hence the question in the subject: is it possible to upload to the librarian without a database connection? It seems this is supported at the protocol level, but if there's a librarian client that works in this way I can't find it. Any advice is welcome! Even if it's "don't do that" :-) At the moment it looks like I'll have to write some more client code, but it's not like it's a very complicated protocol.
