I'd love to see a database crawler for different database types. I deal with databases that store many tens of thousands of pdf or jpg or tiff as blobs, and I'd love to have a full OCR crawl performed of these documents / images.

Predominantly the database used is MS SQL Server 2008R2 or newer.

I love the concept of what you are doing here
**Just adding this to the wish list... :)

Hi @OutbackMatt ! Thanks for the post, but I think we will not create this type of crawler in near future as it requires a lot of work...

OK, so is there plans for a command line interface (CLI) or another interface so that we can programaticly send documents to be processed ad hoc.

At the moment it looks like I could create a 'drop folder', and send documents to the drop folder, and call a cron to assess all documents in this 'drop folder', and then remove the documents. That's OK, but a CLI or API would also be useful.
