I will track the conversation. In thinking about my requirements more I realized that it probably makes sense to build my indexes and cached data structures on demand. At the time a query is made I can determine if the index or cache I need A) already exists and B) is older than the timestamp(s) of the documents involved. If each cache records the paths of the documents that contribute to it then checking that the cache is not older than any contributing docs and that no contributing doc has been deleted should be fast enough. If I have a general "updateCaches()" function, I can simply call that function after any load or update operation from my git hooks. For my current use case that will be as good as having some sort of trigger feature.
