importer does not import anything in default configuration

[ghost]

Unless someone uses the settings from _prj, they will not get any results, but the celery task will appear to succeed. This is really unfriendly behavior.

If we want the default config not to depend on geoserver per #58 that is fine, but the shipping config should do something.

Agree this is confusing. At a minimum, vector data is imported to PostGIS, but its not obvious that this has happened to the user. @JivanAmara is working on a patch to configure the layer details in the Layer model, and set the metadata links etc, without using GeoServer, but without the geoserver handlers configured they would still be left with data in PostGIS and the layer setup in geonode, but with no services attached.

I'm in favor of leaving the geoserver handlers enabled by default and to be disabled only when some alternative is configured.

@harts-boundless Are you thinking of user notification, admin notification (ie logging), or both when this is the case?
