Luis Cabaceira commented on CONNECTORS-1442:
--------------------------------------------
Our strategy for migration content leveraging the ManifoldCF bsfi output
connector is based on managing deltas. The migration process can run in
background during a longer period of time to crawl for all existing documents
and write them in the bfsi format.
Because the system will be in use during the crawling process, we need to
account for content and data changes that occurred during the initial crawling
. This makes tracking updates and changes critical during migration and that is
our current challenge. We need to rely on input connectors that have
implemented a MODEL_ADD_CHANGE or MODEL_ADD_CHANGE_DELETE

> Luis Cabaceira (Solutions Architect @ Alfresco) contacted me for contributing
> in the project with a brand new connector dedicated to massive contents
> migration against an Alfresco repository.
> Alfresco provides a Bulk File System Import tool that allow to import
> contents written in its own format in the file system:
> http://docs.alfresco.com/5.2/concepts/Bulk-Import-Tool.html
> Basically binaries with also versions and metadata written in the Java
> Properties format.
> The most important functionality provided by this tool is the in-place
> feature.
> Using it you can import contents directly inside the content store of
> Alfresco in the file system and then import only nodes without the need to
> upload/stream binary contents.
> This new ManifoldCF connector will convert and write all the crawled contents
> in the BFSI format in the remote file system.
> In this way the extracted content can be dropped directly in the Alfresco
> content store and then running the BFSI tool the repository will import
> contents without uploading/streaming any binary.
> This is important because the BFSI tool is developed and fully supported by
> Alfresco.
> If some development will be required for adapting it with ManifoldCF, this
> will be done by Luis with also my support.
