# (one section [step_xxxxx] for each step)

# You can have several blocks [step_xxxx] if your plugin
# contains several steps.
# If you have only one step in your plugin, please use "main" as your
# step name in [step_xxxxx]. So just one [step_name] section in this case.

# Command (and args) to be executed
# Notes :
# - null means no command to execute
# - this command can be launched several times (see workers/numprocesses)
# - the command must pop redis queue {{MFDATA_CURRENT_STEP_QUEUE}}
#   (dynamically generated), so it must include {MFDATA_CURRENT_STEP_QUEUE} in its args
#   You can use following placeholders :
#     - {{MFDATA_CURRENT_PLUGIN_NAME}}: replaced by the plugin name
#     - {{MFDATA_CURRENT_PLUGIN_DIR}}: replaced by the plugin
#         directory fullpath.
#     - {MFDATA_CURRENT_STEP_NAME}: replaced by the step name
#     - {MFDATA_CURRENT_STEP_QUEUE}: replaced by the name of the queue
#         for the plugin/step on redis
#     - {MFDATA_CURRENT_STEP_DIR}: replaced by the step directory
#     - {CUSTOM_...}: replaced by the corresponding configuration value under
#         the [custom] section of this file (example: {CUSTOM_FOO} will be
#         replaced by the value of the configuration key "foo" under [custom]
#         section.
#     - {{ENV_VAR}}: replaced by the corresponding env var.
#     - {STANDARD_STEP_ARGUMENTS}: replaced by various but standard arguments
#         for every step (must be always here at the end)
# - it's not the command called for each incoming file, it's a daemon implemented
#     with Acquisition framework in Python; if you want to execute a binary command
#     for each incoming file, please bootstrap a "fork" plugin

# You can have several "rules blocks":
#   [switch_rules:{rule_type}:{rule_param1,rule_param2}]
#
# Each "rules block" define a rule type and some rule parameters.
# Under a "rules block" you can have one or several "switch rules".
#
# A "switch rule" is a line like:
#   pattern = plugin_name1/step_name1, plugin_name2/step_name2*
#
# So, for a given pattern, you can have one or several copy actions (separated
# by coma). Each action means copy (or hardlink) the incoming file to the
# given plugin/step.
#
# (if a step name ends with a "*", it means that we can use hardlinking instead
#  of copying => it's better for performances but target step must not alter
#  the incoming file in any way so please DO NOT ADD THE STAR SIGN IF YOU ARE
#  NOT SURE)
#
# All "switch rules" are evaluated in the context of their "rule block". If
# the pattern match (in this context), collected actions are APPENDED.
#
# See FIXME for plenty details and examples.

# Example: copy all incoming files with original_basename starting with A to
#          the current plugin in "main" step
# [switch_rules:fnmatch:first.core.original_basename]
# A* = main

# Example: copy all incoming files to the current plugin in "main" step
# [switch_rules:alwaystrue]
# * = main

# Example: copy all incoming files from the foo dirname to the current plugin
# in "main" step
# [switch_rules:equal:first.core.original_dirname]
# foo = main

# Example: for complex routing rules, you can use a python function
#          (here: my_function() in foo.py under the plugin root)
# [switch_rules:python]
# foo.my_function = main
#

[custom]
# Here is a space for your public configuration keys
#   (ie. overridable by administrator after deployment)
# Your keys shouldn't start with an underscore (as they are public)
#   and you have to read their value through the corresponding env variable
#   and NOT by parsing this file
# A key named "foo_bar" here will generate (in plugin_env) an env var called
# MFDATA_CURRENT_PLUGIN_CUSTOM_FOO_BAR 
# (MFDATA_CURRENT_PLUGIN_CUSTOM_{YOUR KEY IN UPPERCASE})
# with the corresponding value inside
