What is "it"? After I have run a workflow that has successfully published the media I want all of the intermediate files *gone*. I understand that others might want to rerun new workflow operations on older media packages but I don't. I'll reingest the file if I want to run more workflow operations. Can we keep this story in mind with whatever the outcome is? I want cleanup to wipe everything but the published files, because my workers are running with small disks attached, and our archive is outside of this matterhorn process. (and I don't care about archiving intermediate results, because I can always rerun a workflow operation on my original data to get those results again) I thought the t-proposal was to remove the cleanup operation by default, which is fine with me since we would just add it back in for our case. But the r-proposal is unclear to me, who is keeping what files around now? (Ideally I would like the episode service to give me a big long list of everything ingested and when I go to run a workflow it says something like "intermediate files missing, pulling original media packages from the archive" and then makes a service call to archive which hits my tape system and retrieves the original capture agent data. But I'm not in a position to write any of this stuff at the moment, so if this isn't the intended mechanism then just having the episode service say "Can't find intermediate files! Are you sure you configured Matterhorn to save them?" that would be fine. And it could do this only if cleanup is turned on, that would be fine too.)
