hello guys,

   Got the index builder tool working and I have a question :)

   Had a brief chat with Emmanuel on IRC which raised up this question,

   Should this tool be part of the core?.

   Consider a scenario where a new index has been added in the server.xml
   file when the server already holds some data but it isn't indexed till this 
moment.

   In this case if the server automatically checks this new change and builds 
an index
   after considering the user's choice( kind of yes/no) OR using a global 
optional flag
   like --rebuild-index (so that the user interaction can be avoided), then 
there is no
   need to explicitly invoke this tool every time a new index needs to be added.
   (except when the user wants to rebuild an existing index offline)

   P.S :- I liked the rebuild-index option
