Test Cleanup
need to define a procedure for cleaning up test objects. (drop db?, fedora backup?, fedora purge + escidocAdmin recache/reindex? ...) (this is in addition to core-services-latest-version server)
 * 1 extra test server where tests are run once per day on brand new/clean FW
 * check with FIZ on SUPER SUPER account able to wipe-out all objects

First results of mass creation of items

 * 15000 items upper limit in one ingestion cycle
 * afterwards web-server errors
 * REST interfaces used


 * scalability in general a problem
 * creation of e.g. 80000 items is practially impossible in a reasonable time
 * todo Robert: provide log data


 * Actions
 * check on solution with FIZ (PRIO I HIGHEST - SCALE and PERFORM)
 * check performance tests for Fedora/Lucene (informative)
 * further see architectural issues with FIZ
 * keep Malte informed regarding Martinsried comunication
