I've spent a very short time playing with ManifoldCF. Cool project, thank you for contributing it.
I can read binary files from a source repo like Alfresco 5.0.d and post them to Elasticsearch 1.7.2 successfully. Now I'm wondering if the rest of my use cases can be achieved with ManifoldCF... Use case 1: Read JSON from a file system, post to Elasticsearch as-is When I tried to use the file system repository and the Elasticsearch output, I noticed that the file is being encoded and stored in ES in the _content property. What I'd rather do is have the file posted to ES as-is, such as if the file is already a JSON document in the expected format for my type mapping in ES. These files are 15k to 30k of nested object JSON. Use case 2: Read JSON from Alfresco, post it to Elasticsearch along with object metadata In a slight twist on the first, I'd like to store JSON documents in a repository, like Alfresco, and then read the metadata from the Alfresco object and merge it with the JSON stored in the content and post that to Elasticsearch as a JSON string, not as an encoded blob. I didn't see anything covering these in the docs but I may have missed it. Jeff
