[ckan-dev] What's the future of DataPusher?

[Florian.Brucker at it.karlsruhe.de]

Hi everyone,

after running into yet another problem* with DataPusher I was wondering if 
there are any plans to replace it with a more modern solution? In my 
experience, one reason why working with DataPusher is often cumbersome is 
its implementation as a separate service. As far as I understand, the same 
functionality could nowadays be implemented easily as a CKAN extension 
based on background jobs. In my opinion, this functionality should even be 
incorporated directly into the DataStore extension (honest question: are 
there many people using DataStore without the DataPusher, and if so, 
why?).


Best regards,
Florian


* after adding a resource with an uploaded CSV file to an existing 
dataset, DataPusher not only failed to push the data into DataStore 
automatically but also somehow managed to break the DataStore-entries for 
the dataset's existing resources so that all of them had to be re-uploaded 
to the DataStore "manually" by clicking the button in the UI.
