 =head1 DESCRIPTION  
   
 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.  
   
   
 =head1 REQUIREMENTS  
   
   For full functionality:  
     Data::Storage  
     Data::Transform  
     Data::Compare  
     ... and all their dependencies

 =head1 BUGS  
   
   When in "import" mode for windows file - DBD::AutoCSV may hang.  
   Hint: Maybe the source node contains an ident-, but no checksum-column?

   You have to create a sub for each node used in synchronization inside named Perl module. The name of this sub _must_ match  
   the name of the node you want to sync. This sub holds mapping metadata to give the engine hints about how  
   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  
   parameters like newline (eol), column-seperation-character (sep_char), quoting character (quote_char).  
   If this spool runs out of entries and no style could be resolved, DBD::CSV dies causing this "Execution ERROR" which  
   results in a "DBI-Error" afterwards.

   If lowlevel detection succeeds, but no other required informations are found, this message is issued.  
   "Other informations" might be:  
     - column-header-row completely missing  
     - ident column is empty

   info: Data::Transfer::Sync->syncNodes: source=L/Currency <- target=R/currencies.csv  
   info: Data::Transfer::Sync->_prepareNode_MetaProperties( descent source )  
   warning: Data::Transfer::Sync->_prepareNode_MetaProperties: node is lacking meta properties - will try to alter...  
   SQL ERROR: Command 'ALTER' not recognized or not supported!  
     
   SQL ERROR: Command 'ALTER' not recognized or not supported!  
   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  
   The Engine found a node which structure does not match the required. It tries to alter this automatically - only when doing "import" -  
   but the DBD driver (in this case DBD::CSV) gets in the way croaking not to be able to do this.  
   This could also appear if your database connection has insufficient rights to modify the database structure.  
   DBD::CSV croaks because it doesn't implement the ALTER command, so please edit your columns manually.  
   Hint: Add columns with the names of your "ident" and "checksum" property specifications.

   The source node could not be loaded. Maybe the ident is missing. Please check manually.  
   Hint: Like above, the ident and/or checksum columns may be missing....

 =head1 TODO  
   
   - sub _resolveIdentProvider  
   - wrap _doModifySource and _doTransferTarget around a core function which can change virtually any type of node  
   - split this module up into Sync.pm, Sync/Core.pm, Sync/Compare.pm and Sync/Compare/Checksum.pm  
      - introduce _compareNodes as a core method and wrap it around methods in Sync/Compare/Checksum.pm  
   - introduce Sync/Compare/MyComparisonImplementation.pm  
   - some generic deferring method - e.g. "$self->defer(action)" - to be able to accumulate a bunch of actions for later processing  
      - this implies everything done is _really_ split up into generic actions - how else would we defer them???  
      - example uses:  
         - fetch whole checksum list from node  
         - remember source ident retransmits  
      - remember: this is convenient - and maybe / of course faster - but we'll loose "per-node-atomic" operations  
   - feature: mechanism to implicit inject checksum property to nodes (alter table / modify schema)  
   - expand statistics / keep track of:  
     - touched/untouched nodes  
   - full sync  
     - just do a push and a pull for now but use stats for touched nodes in between to speed up things  
   - introduce some new metadata flags for a synchronization partner which is (e.g.) of "source" or "target":  
     - isNewNodePropagator  
     - isWriteProtected
