As an aside, as of Evergreen 2.0 all ingest processes happen within
the database, and records are reingested as soon as a change is made
to a given biblio.record_entry row. There's a flag that by default
prevents re-ingest if a change was made but the MARC was not touched,
if I recall correctly.

Which means that once you make it to Evergreen 2.0, you'll never have
to reingest a record again - even if you do a global change like
"UPDATE biblio.record_entry SET marc = replace('Foo College', 'Foo
University');", the corresponding changes will be reflected
immediately (well, as long as it takes to reingest each record) in the
indexed fields, etc.
