Hi Chris,

the episode service ist not yet an archive. All it does right now is (as you 
suspected) add the mediapackage to the solr search index, while the parts and 
pieces of the media package are still stored in the working file repository, if 
not removed by the cleanup operation.

ETH and Entwine are working on adding initial archiving capabilities to the 
episode service, which will include a first draft of an api as well as a simple 
filesystem based implementation that stores all the files to disk.

You are right, the archive api will need to provide support for asynchronous 
communication.
