                 Key: OODT-34
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-34
             Project: OODT
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: crawler
    Affects Versions: 0.1-incubating, 0.2-incubating
            Reporter: Paul Ramirez
             Fix For: 0.2-incubating


Currently the crawler supports ingesting multiple files by crawling for 
directories. These directories can be archived in the file manager using 
hierarchical product. However there are scenarios where one would want to pick 
up related files on a given run and ingest and tie them back to the current 
file the crawler is examining. For instance, when crawling for images one may 
want to pick up the thumbnails associated with them and ingest and tie them to 
the image product. Figuring out which file is considered ancillary (i.e. 
thumbnail) can be done in the same manner the MoveFile and DeleteFile actions 
determine which file to pick.
