mac champion commented on CRUNCH-491:
-------------------------------------
I'm glad this input is getting more attention. I know of at least one group of
people who need distributed XML parsing. I tried to make a file source recently
but I couldn't figure out how to get around a few issues. Specifically, are you
handling nested-tag CSV files? I could never think of a good way to
intelligently split XML files that might have arbitrarily nested tags, which is
something that group really wanted/needed.
An example:
{code}
<record>
<name>oneName</name>
<record>
<name>twoName</name>
<record></record>
<value>twoValue</value>
</record>
<value>oneValue</value>
</record> {code}
Were you able to figure out how to handle scenarios such as this?
