As of 5997102d6a4458f6681231026982905fb2d8c2ef, if a datastream already exists (for example, a TN created as a derivative), and there is a datastream file in the input directory that would otherwise trigger the ingestion of the datastrea, the datastream's content is updated from the file. The check for the existence of the datastream is logged (HTTP response code 200 if it exists, 404 if it does not).
If there is a use case for not updating the datastream content, we can add a command-line option for it later.
The Islandora REST interface returns an HTTP
409: Conflict
with the message "Datastream already exists" if you attempt to create a datastream that is already present. This includes RELS-EXT. One situation where this can happen is for datastreams that are derivatives (TN, MEDIUM_SIZE, etc.).Before creating a datastream, we should check to see if it already exists, and if so, optionally update it or not. The option could be
--update_datastreams
. If set to true, the ingester would update the datastream content; if set of false, the ingester would skip updating the datastream content.
