Repositories as Output Connectors
Hi,
I just wanted to share an (almost) random thought I have had from time to
time. In the lasts years, I have faced several migrations between different
ECM systems (for example from Alfresco to Nuxeo). Several times I have
consider the possibility to use ManifoldCF for this, at the end I was
wondering my self "why not?". My main fear is about permissions
replications from different systems.
Besides that, what do you guys think about that possibility?
Maybe creating a new type of output connector ....? Am I completely crazy?
Just wanted to hear your opinions
Cheers!
Rafa

Re: Repositories as Output Connectors
Posted by Piergiorgio Lucidi <pi...@apache.org>.
Ok guys,
we have a first implementation of the CMIS Output Connector but I have to
confess that I have worked on this in a very discontinuously way in the
last two months.
We also need to do some debugging of all the code, I hope to spend some
time on this during this week.
I think that I will need your help Rafa ;)
If there is someone that would like to give a hand please drop a message in
the issue.
We have three main tasks to do:
1. Debugging
2. Metadata mapping
3. Integration test
I would like to track this discussion directly on the issue CONNECTORS-1356
[1].
Cheers,
Piergiorgio

I'm wondering if it can makes sense to consider the implementation of a
connector dedicated to read contents and transactions from a relational
datasource and then create blockchain records using any BlockChain API
available in the market today.
I think that it could be very useful because blockchain storage is used as
a distributed database and probably during the next year a potential use
case could be migrate an existent datasource against a blockchain provider.
I mean, this is just an idea but probably we will arrive to this later but
I would like to start a discussion about this or anyway have different
opinions.

Hi Piergiorgio,
Unless you can think of a technical difference between an "output index
connector" and an "output content connector", I don't think it makes sense
to introduce a new type of connector for this. It's clear by the target
whether it's for content or for an index. For example, a CMIS output
connector would obviously not be for building indexes.
What do you mean by "output blockchain connector"?
Thanks,
Karl

Re: Repositories as Output Connectors
Posted by Piergiorgio Lucidi <pi...@apache.org>.
Hi guys,
I have to confess that many times I wondered if this use case can make
sense in ManifoldCF.
I mean at an high level Manifold get contents in input and creates search
indexes as the main output.
So it seems that we are addressing a huge swerve in terms of features.
I totally agree with Rafa and I would like to start the initial
implementation for the CMIS Output Connector.
I suggest to add a different naming convention for the output connectors
because we will have at least two different types:
- Output Index Connector
- Output Content Connector
Or something similar to these I listed above.
What do you think also about an eventual new type Output Blockchain
Connector?
Please share your ideas ^__^

Indeed, implementations for each repository would be needed. But I can
ensure this is a quite common use case. So probably it is worth to start
contributing repository output connectors

Re: Repositories as Output Connectors
Posted by Karl Wright <da...@gmail.com>.
Hi Rafa,
This is not crazy but you really do have to have an output connector for
each repository type you want to push documents into. We have done this
for the filesystem but really for nothing much else, so far. But I see no
reason it could not be done.
The code needed to output documents into a repository is, of course,
totally different than the code needed to read from one.
Security is a problem you'd once again have to figure out on a repository
by repository basis.
Thanks,
Karl
