-would it be possible to have an SV example in the source gallery for when XMLIgnoreValues are used to auto derive field names. (05/20/2014)

(As per db extractor comment), call out specifically how the url is constructed in the different cases:

• office type, the path of the file (ie file.url + path-relative-to-url)
• json/xml/csv: if xmlsourcename and xmlprimarykey are specified:
  • xmlsourcename + object,get(xmlprimarykey)
• if not:
  • path-of-file (as above) + <hash of object> + ".csv"/.json/.xml

There are some general fields (renameAfterParse, path*, mode) that need to be documented (see the TODO)

Is there a reason you have different sections for CSV and SV? (CSV is just the default case of SV, ie the seperator is the default comma)

The *sv documentation is a bit unclear i think - it's much simpler (at least in 90% of cases) ... in most cases the configuration is just either setting the columns or making it in auto config mode, so i'd focus around that ... then ignoring other header fields, and setting the separator/quote/escape (plus the url setting which is general for xml/json/sv and is described above). I'm sure there are lots of better csv configuration documents out there than my original one (http://logstash.net/docs/1.4.0/filters/csv) so feel free to find one of those to start with!

I have similar comments about the JSON/XML ... the main thing is just selecting the root object so i'd start with an explanation of that (it's very similar between xml/json so probably copy/paste) and then the other fields

-Requires example urls for connecting to the database when PrimaryKeyValue is specified and when it is not. 

There's another missing field that has changed between legacy and pipeline - the database object now has a "url" field (that was previously in the source top level) ... if no value is specified for 'primaryKeyValue' (hmm this also seems to be missing from the documentation it is in the code here: https://bitbucket.org/ikanow/ikanow_infinit.e_community
/src/d4d92a4131ffc9706417b70077aec548178bcf58/core
/infinit.e.data_model/src/com/ikanow/infinit/e/data_model
/store/config/source/SourceDatabaseConfigPojo.java?at=master) then the document URL is database.url + record.get(primaryKey) (if no 'primaryKey' is specified then a random string is used), otherwise it's primaryKeyValue + record.get(primaryKey). It would be good for the file and db extractors to call out how the URL is constructed actually.

(Re authentication: Made minor update to correct error in legacy documentation, and to reflect v0.3 functionality change)

Added missing examples for xpath and regex. (05/20/2014)

Require more examples for the following:

• duplicateExistingUrls
• maxDocs_global
• throttleDocs_perCycle
• maxDocs_perCycle
• distributionFactor
