>>> Using unstable fields for the ID isn't recommended (e.g. scientificName).
>>>  To update the records, the process is to just re-load the dataset.

>>> Incremental Load - affects the sample/process/index steps to only run

>>> sample/process/index steps against the whole data set. This can cause a
