Simple plugin for handling legacy redirects in a scalable manner.

== Description ==

This is a no-frills plugin (no UI, for example). Data entry needs to be bulk-loaded via the wp-cli commands provided or custom scripts.

Redirects are stored as a custom post type and use the following fields:
 - post_name for the md5 hash of the "from" path or URL.
  - we use this column, since it's indexed and queries are super fast.
  - we also use an md5 just to simplify the storage.
 - post_title to store the non-md5 version of the "from" path.
 - one of either:
  - post_parent if we're redirect to a post; or
  - post_excerpt if we're redirecting to an alternate URL.

Please contact us before using this plugin.
