Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-41:
---------------------------------------
I think we're discussing two entirely distinct features here.
Feature 1: Let the output connector know that a job is finished, so that it can
flush whatever internal buffering etc. it has been doing (e.g. tell solr to
commit).
Feature 2: Provide some general way of monitoring the progress of jobs etc.
Feature 2 is already met by the API, in my opinion. It's a polling-style
fulfillment of the requirement, but it does exist. There doesn't seem to me to
yet be a requirement that a notification-style API be provided also, despite
the stated use case.
Feature 1 is what I consider to be the use case for this current ticket.
> Add hooks to output connectors for receiving event notifications,
> specifically job start, job end, etc.

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Framework core
> Reporter: Karl Wright
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently there is no logic that informs an output connection of a job start,
> end, deletion, or other activity. While this would seem to have little to do
> with an output connector, this feature has been requested by Jack Krupansky
> as a potential way of deciding when to tell Solr to commit documents, rather
> than leave it up to Solr's configuration.
