delta-update alternative on filechanges when using FileListEntityProcessor

[Thomas Lustig <tm...@gmail.com>]

I configured a DataImportHandler using a FileListEntityProcessor to import
files from a folder.
This setup works really great, but i do not now how i should handle changes
on the filesystem (e.g. files added, deleted,...)
Should I always do a "full-import"? As far as i read "delta-import" is only
supported by SqlEntityProcessor.
Is there a best practise, that is recommended?
Thanks in advance for helping me

The best practice is not to use DIH in production. It is great for several
rounds of prototyping but then things get messy and uneven as you found.
The delete logic is always extra messy.

So, this may be a good point to switch to an external client and implement
the monitoring logic there.

P.s. or you could reindex everything periodically in a separate collection
and swap it into production. No delete logic.....
