45     <P>Data::Transfer::Sync is a module providing a generic synchronization process
46     across arbitrary/multiple storages based on a ident/checksum mechanism.
47     It sits on top of Data::Storage.</P>

83     You have to create a sub for each node used in synchronization inside named Perl module. The name of this sub _must_ match
84     the name of the node you want to sync. This sub holds mapping metadata to give the engine hints about how
85     to access the otherwise generic nodes.

104     DBD::AutoCSV contains a rulebase which is spooled down while attempting to guess the style of the csv file regarding
105     parameters like newline (eol), column-seperation-character (sep_char), quoting character (quote_char).
106     If this spool runs out of entries and no style could be resolved, DBD::CSV dies causing this &quot;Execution ERROR&quot; which
107     results in a &quot;DBI-Error&quot; afterwards.

135     The Engine found a node which structure does not match the required. It tries to alter this automatically - only when doing &quot;import&quot; -
136     but the DBD driver (in this case DBD::CSV) gets in the way croaking not to be able to do this.
137     This could also appear if your database connection has insufficient rights to modify the database structure.
138     DBD::CSV croaks because it doesn't implement the ALTER command, so please edit your columns manually.
139     Hint: Add columns with the names of your &quot;ident&quot; and &quot;checksum&quot; property specifications.

155     - sub _resolveIdentProvider
156     - wrap _doModifySource and _doTransferTarget around a core function which can change virtually any type of node
157     - split this module up into Sync.pm, Sync/Core.pm, Sync/Compare.pm and Sync/Compare/Checksum.pm
158     - introduce _compareNodes as a core method and wrap it around methods in Sync/Compare/Checksum.pm
159     - introduce Sync/Compare/MyComparisonImplementation.pm
160     - some generic deferring method - e.g. &quot;$self-&gt;defer(action)&quot; - to be able to accumulate a bunch of actions for later processing
161     - this implies everything done is _really_ split up into generic actions - how else would we defer them???
162     - example uses:
163     - fetch whole checksum list from node
164     - remember source ident retransmits
165     - remember: this is convenient - and maybe / of course faster - but we'll loose &quot;per-node-atomic&quot; operations
166     - feature: mechanism to implicit inject checksum property to nodes (alter table / modify schema)
167     - expand statistics / keep track of:
168     - touched/untouched nodes
169     - full sync
170     - just do a push and a pull for now but use stats for touched nodes in between to speed up things
171     - introduce some new metadata flags for a synchronization partner which is (e.g.) of &quot;source&quot; or &quot;target&quot;:
172     - isNewNodePropagator
173     - isWriteProtected</PRE>
