Please note that the new importer is available in 2.24 as well, but not
through the UI, you will need to use cURL (or a similar http client) and
send the payload to /api/24/metadata

curl -X POST -u username:password -d @filename.json -H "Content-Type:
application/json" http://server/api/24/metadata
curl -X POST -u username:password -d @filename.xml-H "Content-Type:
application/xml" http://server/api/24/metadata

There are fixes in 225/226 that has not been backported.. but if your
metadata is not too complex, this might work for you.

Also, are you loading this into an empty database? or is it already
prefilled with metadata? if you are updating metadata, you might want to
add preheatCache=true, which could improve things (depending on your
version of 224, this might be default already)
