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)
Sounds good.
I just wonder if it is possible to rebuild the index while the server is
running? If possible then we could have an extended operation (stored
procedure) that builds the index. This way it could be invoked from
remote via Studio.
It's a bit complicated. As the index building might be costly, in the
mean time, the index won't be available. That mean we should freeze the
server for quite a moment .
