Description

Zaizi has a requirement to support multiple outputs for a single job. In theory this requirement can be met by doing the following:

• Allow multiple output connections, and multiple pipelines, per job
• Keep a distinct ingeststatus record for each document/output combination
• Modify WorkerThread to call IncrementalIndexer multiple times for every document fetched

Places where different things need to happen are:

• RepositoryDocument - because one binary stream will not do for multiple outputs
• UI, obviously, because there will need to be multiple pipelines, not just one, and in addition it would be probably important to be able to "split" the pipeline at arbitrary points
