Would it be simpler to just replicate the ingest service on different 
nodes, each one monitoring a different input directory?  The configuration 
of the converter pipeline stage would just indicate which directory to 
write its output to.  Since we only need 2 (rather than 200) ingest 
nodes, half of the converters would write to one directory, and the other 
half to the other directory.  

cheers,
Ray
