Small Ingest consist of upload of single or small amounts of content and metadata metadata. It can be accomplished with a single atomic operation or a short series of RESTful operations without resorted to a read prior completion. The duration of the small ingest is expected to be approximately the time it takes to upload the content and metadata starting with the beginning of the connection, where the connection is terminated after the operation. It is expected that the ability to read (access) the uploaded content and metadata should happen fairly soon after the upload is complete.
Bulk Ingest
In bulk ingest, a large quantity of content and metadata is ingested as a logical unit or is continuous. This likely happen over a number of connections or may utilize methods that are optimized for bulk ingest. It is characterized by the expectation that there may be a defined delay between when the ingest is started and part or all of the content and metadata becomes available for read.
