default_submitter and default_owner are not stored in the opersist database

Jing and I encountered an issue when attempting to index new records that two required fields in the XML—submitter and rightsHolder—were not filled in as expected. An example is reproduced below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<d1:systemMetadata xmlns:d1="http://ns.dataone.org/service/types/v2.0">

On a tip from Dave I verified that these fields were not filled out in the database at harvest time. The solution then is to use the OPersist object setDefaultSubmitter and setDefaultOwner prior to harvesting any records.

Additionally, the replicationPolicy should be set prior to harvest time, although we have not yet seen that its absence causes an issue.

The primary reason for this issue has been solved and can be closed. However, I have not found a way to set replicationPolicy yet and will create a new issue for it.
