[jira] [Commented] (CONNECTORS-54) A Filesystem output connector would be useful and would allow more complete unit tests

["Karl Wright (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-54?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13084140#comment-13084140 ] 

Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-54:
---------------------------------------

ManifoldCF in Action required a simple file-based repository to be written, and an output connector to that repository also.  It's not so simple because the metadata and acl information also needs to go into the file system for this to be useful.  I'm therefore going to close this ticket since I can't think of any realistic use for the proposed connector other than testing.

> Right now, the unit tests are limited because there is no way to check that the "indexed" files actually do get indexed.  The addition of a filesystem output connector would allow more complete tests to be constructed.  In addition, such a connector might well be useful in its own right.
> The connector would need to convert URI's into relative file paths, but other than that there's really nothing very tricky about it.  Configuration information is minimal; just the root path of the output is all that's needed.
