Adding a spider
A spider component crawls documents rather than loading records from a file, thereby adding document crawling capabilities to your pipeline.
Adding an update adapter
An update adapter is part of a partial update pipeline. It writes partial update information to a running Endeca MDEX Engine to perform a live update.
