Data::Transfer::Sync is a module providing a generic synchronization process |

across arbitrary/multiple storages based on a ident/checksum mechanism. |

It sits on top of Data::Storage.</PRE> |

You have to create a sub for each node used in synchronization inside named Perl module. The name of this sub _must_ match |
| 164 |
the name of the node you want to sync. This sub holds mapping metadata to give the engine hints about how |
| 165 |
to access the otherwise generic nodes. |

DBD::AutoCSV contains a rulebase which is spooled down while attempting to guess the style of the csv file regarding |
| 185 |
parameters like newline (eol), column-seperation-character (sep_char), quoting character (quote_char). |
| 186 |
If this spool runs out of entries and no style could be resolved, DBD::CSV dies causing this "Execution ERROR" which |
| 187 |
results in a "DBI-Error" afterwards. |

| 215 |
The Engine found a node which structure does not match the required. It tries to alter this automatically - only when doing "import" - |
| 216 |
but the DBD driver (in this case DBD::CSV) gets in the way croaking not to be able to do this. |
| 217 |
This could also appear if your database connection has insufficient rights to modify the database structure. |
| 218 |
DBD::CSV croaks because it doesn't implement the ALTER command, so please edit your columns manually. |
| 219 |
Hint: Add columns with the names of your "ident" and "checksum" property specifications. |

o sub _resolveIdentProvider |
| 236 |
x wrap _doModifySource and _doTransferTarget around a core function which can change virtually any type of node |
| 237 |
x split this module up into Sync.pm, Sync/Core.pm, Sync/Compare.pm and Sync/Compare/Checksum.pm |
| 238 |
o introduce _compareNodes as a core method and wrap it around methods in Sync/Compare/Checksum.pm |
| 239 |
x introduce Sync/Compare/MyComparisonImplementation.pm |
| 240 |
o some generic deferring method - e.g. "$self->defer(action)" - to be able to accumulate a bunch of actions for later processing |
| 241 |
- this implies everything done is _really_ split up into generic actions - how else would we defer them??? |
| 242 |
- example uses: |
| 243 |
- fetch whole checksum list from node |
| 244 |
- remember source ident retransmits |
| 245 |
- remember: this is convenient - and maybe / of course faster - but we'll loose "per-node-atomic" operations |
| 246 |
o feature: mechanism to implicit inject checksum property to nodes (alter table / modify schema) |
| 247 |
o expand statistics / keep track of: |
| 248 |
- touched/untouched nodes |
| 249 |
o full sync |
| 250 |
- just do a push and a pull for now but use stats for touched nodes in between to speed up things |
| 251 |
o introduce some new metadata flags for a descent |
| 252 |
- isNewNodePropagator |
