+ Do not miss the `rootEntity` attribute. The implicit fields generated by the !FileListEntityProcessor are `fileAbsolutePath, fileSize, fileLastModified, fileName` and these are available for use within the entity X as shown above. It should be noted that !FileListEntityProcessor returns a list of pathnames and that the subsequent entity must use the !FileDataSource to fetch the files content.
  
- example:
+ === CachedSqlEntityProcessor ===
+ <<Anchor(cached)>>
+ 
+ This is an extension of the !SqlEntityProcessor.  This !EntityProcessor helps reduce the no: of DB queries executed by caching the rows. It does not help to use it in the root most entity because only one sql is run for the entity.
+ 
+ Example 1.
  {{{
- <entity processor="PlainTextEntityProcessor" name="x" url="http://abc.com/a.txt" dataSource="data-source-name">
-    <!-- copies the text to a field called 'text' in Solr-->
-   <field column="plainText" name="text"/>
+ <entity name="x" query="select * from x">
+     <entity name="y" query="select * from y where xid=${x.id}" processor="CachedSqlEntityProcessor">
+     </entity>
- </entity>
+ <entity>
  }}}
  
- Ensure that the dataSource is of type !DataSource<Reader> (!FileDataSource, URL!DataSource)
+ The usage is exactly same as the other one. When a query is run the results are stored and if the same query is run again it is fetched from the cache and returned
  
+ Example 2:
+ {{{
+ <entity name="x" query="select * from x">
+     <entity name="y" query="select * from y" processor="CachedSqlEntityProcessor"  where="xid=x.id">
+     </entity>
+ <entity>
+ }}}
+ 
+ The difference with the previous one is the 'where' attribute. In this case the query fetches all the rows from the table and stores all the rows in the cache. The magic is in the 'where' value. The cache stores the values with the 'xid' value in 'y' as the key. The value for 'x.id' is evaluated every time the entity has to be run and the value is looked up in the cache an the rows are returned.
+ 
+ In the where the lhs (the part before '=') is the column in y and the rhs (the part after '=') is the value to be computed for looking up the cache.
+ 
- === LineEntityProcessor ===
+ === PlainTextEntityProcessor ===
- <<Anchor(LineEntityProcessor)>>
+ <<Anchor(plaintext)>>

+ This !EntityProcessor reads all content from the data source into an single implicit field called 'plainText'. The content is not parsed in any way, however you may add transformers to manipulate the data within 'plainText' as needed or to create other additional fields.
- This !EntityProcessor reads all content from the data source on a line by line basis, a field called 'rawLine' is returned for each line read. The content is not parsed in any way, however you may add transformers to manipulate the data within 'rawLine' or to create other additional fields.
- 
- The lines read can be filtered by two regular expressions '''acceptLineRegex''' and '''omitLineRegex'''.
- This entities additional attributes are:
-  * '''`url`''' : a required attribute that specifies the location of the input file in a way that is compatible with the configured datasource. If this value is relative and you are using !FileDataSource or URL!DataSource, it assumed to be relative to '''baseLoc'''.
-  * '''`acceptLineRegex`''' :an optional attribute that if present discards any line which does not match the regExp.
-  * '''`omitLineRegex`''' : an optional attribute that is applied after any acceptLineRegex and discards any line which matches this regExp.
- example:
- {{{
- <entity name="jc"
-         processor="LineEntityProcessor"
-         acceptLineRegex="^.*\.xml$"
-         omitLineRegex="/obsolete"
-         url="file:///Volumes/ts/files.lis"
-         rootEntity="false"
-         dataSource="myURIreader1"
-         transformer="RegexTransformer,DateFormatTransformer"
-         >
-    ...
- }}}
- While there are use cases where you might need to create a solr document per line read from a file, it is expected that in most cases that the lines read will consist of a pathname which is in turn consumed by another !EntityProcessor
- such as X!PathEntityProcessor.
