Hi all,

As the answer here is not simply yes or no I added some thoughts to the
wiki page.

I guess the uses cases "Initial import" and "additive import" are valid.
The idea here is to optimize performance as much as possible by
foregoing some unnecessary method calls. For example a call of
obsoleteIdIterator(String dataSourceID) may be time consuming but return
an empty iterator (in case of an "initial import"). So if this use case
is know the call can be skipped.


Bye,
