It occurs to me that I don't know how we're handling deletions #770

It should be pretty straightforward - we use the "d" in the leader, I think, for the Ebsco extract, so this should work:

status_text = 000[5], ( map.record_status ), DeleteRecordIfFieldEmpty 
map.record_status .d = null 
map.record_status .displayRawIfMissing = 1 
**Note that his will insert a dummy value in all records in Solr, that do 
not have a "d" in character 5 of the leader. **

You could confirm with Jim and Elaine.

Thanks,

@sjshores Yes, I'll do that. I'm pretty sure this is what we did to resolve the EDS problem we had last year.

OK, I've added the deletion logic to the symphony ingest rules. I can't really test it - we'll have to keep an eye on it. For non-symphony records (SFX, Databases), this is made trickier because either we don't use marc (Databases) or we don't use the 001 as ID (SFX). I'd recommend just running a rake delete on the whole collection before ingesting these, since they don't take very long.
