Workspace Storage Fusion

When looking for PII in a file, storage fusion catalog only detects the first instance of the PII element and stores it in a database as opposed to storing all PII elements in a file.

1. Problem: When looking for PII in a file, storage fusion catalog only detects the first instance of the PII element and stores it in a database as opposed to storing all PII elements in a file.

For example, consider a pdf file (fileA.pdf) that has two email addresses in it email1@email.com and email2@email.com.

Today when looking for email addresses in fileA.pdf, storage fusion catalog will find email1@email.com and put it into the storage fusion catalog database and will not continue to find emai2@email.com

Change required: Instead of only detecting the first PII element in a file and storing it in the Fusion Catalog database, detect all PII elements in a file and store all PII elements in the Storage Fusion Catalog database.

For example, considering the same pdf file (fileA.pdf) that has two email addresses in it email1@email.com and email2@email.com detect both email1@email.com and email2@email.com and store both email addresses in the Storage Fusion Catalog.
