Hi All,
I need to implement scrutineer in to my java application for find
out and resolve inconsistency data between database and ES index. i read
the document ( [https://github.com/Aconex/scrutineer#readme](https://github.com/Aconex/scrutineer#readme) ) but still i
didn't get the exact idea of how to implement scrutineer into java
application.
Is there any example or procedure to implement scrutineer?
NOTE: I'm using mysql database.
Thanks All.

Scrutineer is written in Java. Look in the src directory
[https://github.com/Aconex/scrutineer/tree/master/src](https://github.com/Aconex/scrutineer/tree/master/src) I have never used it,
but I appears that Scrutineer is a standalone application, not meant to be
integrated into an existing Java program.
You also might want to look into the JDBC River:

Do you really need to execute Scrutineer from within an existing Java
application? The main idea is for a standalone tool to be run at any time,
operationally.
If you must need to have it embedded within your Application, you will need
to bring in Scrutineer as a dependency (the jar) and all of it's
dependencies, then follow a similar pattern as to
how com.aconex.scrutineer.Scrutineer constructs the various components, or
alternatively just call that static main method directly faking out the
command line arguments.
If you want to use it standalone as it is designed with mysql, I would
clone the repository, add the mysql JDBC drivers to the block,
and then use Maven to 'mvn package' to build the artifact with the mysql
jar embedded.
Unfortunately the Maven AppAssembler plugin does not allow simply dropping
new JDBC drivers in with all the other JARS to easily add them. It would
probably make sense for Scrutineer to ship with the common open-source
drivers (we already ship it with JTDS), you could give us a pull request if
you like.
