Approximately 18 million file entities have only partial file metadata. All have a sha1 (hex), but many are missing file size, md5, mimetype, etc. At least a few thousand of these are additionally *not* `application/pdf` mimetype based on actually retrieving the file and sniffing the file type. These are added earlier to the catalog likely based on CDX mimetype, which is server-reported and can be incorrect. ## QA Testing ./fatcat_import.py --editgroup-description-override "backfill of full file-level metadata for early-imported papers" file-meta - => Counter({'total': 1000, 'update': 1000, 'skip': 0, 'insert': 0, 'exists': 0}) # Identical command, verifying that don't double-insert: => Counter({'total': 1000, 'skip-existing-complete': 1000, 'skip': 0, 'insert': 0, 'update': 0, 'exists': 0}) Two additional file-level cleanups should probably be done at the same time: Partial wayback URL timestamps, for cases where we have the full timestamped URL.
