Split up YAML on autoexport automatically for easier fine-grained diffing

[Marcel Riegler]

Autoexport puts all documents in a folder into the same YAML file. I know i could manually split those up into single files per document/handle, but that would be a LOT of work.

Is there a way to either configure autoexport to create more separate files, or maybe a way to hook into the Java to change this behaviour?

[Peter Centgraf]

This isn't configurable at the moment, but we've considered this as a possible feature improvement. There's a single class LocationMapper in the hippo-repository-engine module that controls the file-splitting behavior for newly-exported files. Changing the rules defined there currently requires forking the code and doing a custom build from source, which is a pretty extreme measure.

We have also improved the default rules based on feedback in the past, so if you submit a JIRA ticket with some specific suggestions, that would be helpful.
