README

A Drush-driven ingestion tool for Islandora that creates Media entities from files already on disk — without moving them.

Designed for large-scale, resumable, idempotent, parallel-safe ingest workflows.

✨ Features

• ✅ In-place ingestion (no file copying unless paths differ)
• ✅ Idempotent (safe to re-run; no duplicate Media)
• ✅ Automatic resume after failure
• ✅ Drush command interface
• ✅ Queue-based background processing
• ✅ Concurrency-safe sharding for parallel workers
• ✅ Explicit ownership (uid = 1, configurable later)
• ✅ Works with cron or manual queue runners

📦 Requirements

• Drupal 10 or 11
• Drush 10+
• Islandora Media bundles already configured
• Files already present on disk (e.g. public://, private://, or mounted paths)
