Method Detail

bulkImport

void bulkImport(BulkImportParameters bulkImportParameters,
                NodeImporter nodeImporter)

Initiates a bulk filesystem import. Note: getStatus().inProgress() must be false prior to calling this method or an Exception will be thrown.

Parameters:

target - The target space to ingest the content into (must not be null and must be a valid, writable space in the repository).

source - The source directory on the local filesystem to read content from (must not be null and must be a valid, readable directory on the local filesystem).

replaceExisting - A flag indicating whether to replace (true) or skip (false) files that are already in the repository.

asyncBulkImport

void asyncBulkImport(BulkImportParameters bulkImportParameters,
                     NodeImporter nodeImporter)

Initiates a bulk filesystem import asynchronously i.e. in a background thread. Note: getStatus().inProgress() must be false prior to calling this method or an Exception will be thrown.

Parameters:

target - The target space to ingest the content into (must not be null and must be a valid, writable space in the repository).

source - The source directory on the local filesystem to read content from (must not be null and must be a valid, readable directory on the local filesystem).

replaceExisting - A flag indicating whether to replace (true) or skip (false) files that are already in the repository.

getStatus

BulkImportStatus getStatus()

Returns:

A status object that describes the current state of the bulk filesystem importer.
