Purpose of defining readers in entity configuration

[Swapnil Mane]

Hi Devs,

We have defined entity-data-reader in entityengine.xml
e.g.
<entity-data-reader name="seed"/>

and read-data in entityengine.xml
e.g.
<read-data reader-name="seed"/>

OFBiz has the capability for real-time data reader identification and for
loading data for the particular newly defined reader for data file entry in
ofbiz-component.xml. This feature is committed at r739782
<http://markmail.org/search/?q=ofbiz+739782#query:ofbiz%20739782%20list%3Aorg.apache.ofbiz.commits+page:1+mid:kt2ta76jgdfigd4u+state:results>
.

Can somebody please share the purpose of defining these readers in entity
configuration.

Thanks in Advance!
