While this is technically possible, I suspect it will be fairly
difficult.  The script will have to do at least two things:

1)  Address the mediapackage(s) in the jobs table.  This means first
finding the correct job(s), and the number of jobs depends on how
thorough you want to be.  To explain, each time a job (workflow
operation) is dispatched for processing a copy of the current
mediapackage is added to the jobs table.  If you wanted to be completely
thorough you would have to go through and change each of these jobs.  In
the simplest case you could just modify the final job(s), although I'm
not sure what affect that would have on the system.

2)  You may have to alter the contents of the Solr index.  I am not
terribly familiar with that piece of the codebase, but I hope there is
only a single instance to change for a given recording.

Yes, although for the reasons above it may be hard to address.  One of
the things I have in my head for 1.5 is redoing the way we store
mediapackages using JPA rather than dumping potentially very large XML
structures into a database column.  Whether I have time to do this
remains to be seen.
