                                existing DB record that file is already

                                coordinator (node1) will start the

                                triggered by node1 is finished, but at
                                the same time it can "help" to import
                                some users (pages) if coordinator asks
                                him to do so. This impl is based on

                            <div>The DB record needs to be created

                  </span> With distributed executor, it's the cluster
                  coordinator, which coordinates which node would import
                  what. It will send messages to cluster nodes like
                  "Hey, please import the file testrealm-users-3.json
                  with timestamp abcd123" . <br>
                  <br>
                  After node finishes the job, it notifies coordinator
                  and coordinator will insert DB record and mark it as
                  finished. So there is no DB record inserted before
                  node starts import, because whole coordination is
                  handled by the coordinator. Also there will never be
                  same file imported more times by different cluster
                  nodes. <br>
                  <br>
                  Only exception would be if cluster node crashes before
                  import is finished. Then it needs to be reimported by
                  other cluster node, but that's the case with DB locks
                  as well.<br>
                  <br>
                  IMO the DB locks approach doesn't handle well crash of
                  some cluster node. For example when node2 crashes
                  unexpectedly when it's importing the file
                  testrealm-users-3.json, the DB lock is held by this
                  node, so other cluster nodes can't start on importing
                  the file (until timeout occurs.)<br>
                  <br>
                  On the other hand, distributed executor approach may
                  have issues if there is inconsistent content of the
                  standalone/import directory among cluster nodes.
                  However it can be solved, so that each node will need
                  to send checksums of the files it has and coordinator
                  will need to ensure that file with checksum "abcd123"
                  is assigned just to the node which has this file.</div>

                additional file onto any node and have it imported.</div>

      Exactly, was thinking about Docker too. Here we don't have any
      issue at all.<br>
      <br>
      The main question here is, do we want to support the scenario when
      various cluster nodes have different content? As I mentioned,
      distributed coordinator can handle it, so that each cluster node
      will send the checksums of the files it has and coordinator will
      always assign to node just the checksums, which it has.<br>
      <br>
      However regardless of distributed executor approach or DB locks
      approach, there may be still the issues. For example:<br>
      1) The file testrealm.json with checksum "abc" is triggered for
      import on node1<br>
      2) At the same time, admin will do some minor change in this file
      on node2 and save it. This will mean that checksum of the file on
      node2 will be changed to "def"<br>
      3) Node2 will trigger import of that file. So we have both node1
      and node2 importing same file concurrently because the previously
      retrieved lock was for "abc" checksum, but now checksum is "def" <br>
      <br>
      This problem will be with both DB lock and DistributedExecutor
      approaches though...<br>
    </blockquote>
    Possible solution for this issue is, that when import is already in
    progress, the newly added or changed checksums will be ignored. The
    checksums will be always checked just at start of the import.<br>
