A couple of questions related to APIs for the Catalog Ingest at the Base Camp.: On the component diagram I don't see anything regarding starting Ingest Service. Who should control (start/stop) Ingest Service? Should we add this missing link to the diagram? How to exchange data between Pipeline and IngestDataConverter? Through a named pipe? (BTW, can you think of a better name for the Converter that will convert binary data from pipeline into ascii file for ingest) How should Ingest Service detect new input files? Should we 'trigger' loading, or the Ingest Service should periodically scan the contents of a directory? (triggering would reduce delay) Thanks, Jacek _______________________________________________ LSST-data mailing list [email protected] http://www.lsstmail.org/mailman/listinfo/lsst-data
