Feature Request: Support Bulk Import / Mass Ingestion #260

I see that HAPI FHIR added a bulk import capability in 5.5.0. The JPA server is apparently still on 5.4.2.

It would be amazing if we had a $import endpoint that could mass-ingest NDJSON in the same format that is emitted by the $export endpoint like Google's FHIR offering does.

5.5 isn't released yet

@jkiddo I don't see a import provider in the 5.5.0 release branch. Do you know if this functionality is planned for 5.5.0?

@jamesagnew The lack of $import functionality is a major pain point for us right now.

I wonder if the reason it hasn't been implemented is because there is still design work to do, or because you haven't had time in light of other priorities. Would it be acceptable if I submitted a PR implementing a provider in HAPI FHIR and wiring it through to the JPA server?

Any updates on this? According to the changelog it should be available from v6.0 onward. Is there any documentation on how to do a bulk import? Thanks!

Thanks a lot! Am I correct that the bulk import only works with "POSTing" URLs to the resources and not the actual resource content itself?
