Bug #2136
closedReplicate deleted documents in Replication
0%
Description
Currently in Delta-timed replication, metacat only replicated the documents in
xml_documents table. So even after the replication, the two metacats are not
identical. We need to add the feature that metacat will replicate the deleted
documents(including deleted version too).

Here is the new approach:
When metacat A send a command "update" to metacat B, B will send two doclist to A.
The first doclist is documents in xml_revisions(Same docid but different
revision number will considered as two documents). When A got this list, it will
check if its' xml_revisions table has the doc(from the list) or not. If
xml_revisions has it, do nothing. Otherwise, it will send a request to download
it. After download finished, delete the documents(Metacat delete, only delete it
from xml_documents, xml_relations and xml_access et al. But the xml_nodes will
still has the record).
The second doclist is documents in xml_documents(current searchable documents).
When A got this list, it will check if its' xml_documents has it or not. If the
documents is not in xml_documents or even in it but revision number is less
than the list from B, A will send a request to download it.

Now, we add documents in xml_revisions table to the reponse of getUpdate action.
I also modify the code for writing document in xml_revisions: it will not
generate anything in relation and access table. The doc enrty will show in
xml_revision table and nodes will show in xml_nodes_revision table.
