Howdy, just to chime in as a developer of maven-indexer:
1, Regarding server side processing we are shot in our foot, as index is provided (is produced and hosted) by Sonatype, and we have no much impact, nor is there any server side available. They just produce the GZIP files we can download and munge as much as we like on them. 2. Am unsure about exact indexer use cases within NB, but indexer offers a "remote client" for SMO as well (via HTTP to search web service), https://github.com/apache/maven-indexer/tree/master/search-backend-smo still, is less powerful than full indexing context (that one that is GB in size), see tests 3. maven-indexer (the classic) could be combined with smo search: use classic to index local repository while for remote use SMO client, etc.or some sort of "overlay" could be possible as well... In the end, I want to thank Michael Bien of NB, he made a great deal of contributions to indexers so far. Finally, there is one related Michael PR still waiting for me... https://github.com/apache/maven-indexer/pull/302 Thanks T On Tue, Apr 18, 2023 at 10:44 AM Neil C Smith <neilcsm...@apache.org> wrote: > On Tue, 18 Apr 2023 at 06:49, Jan Lahoda <lah...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I apologize for being contrarian, but since the index download started > for > > me (again) while on a bus with very poor internet connection, I guess I > > should tell you my view. > ... > > To be honest, it never seemed very polite to me to download and process > so > > much without asking. > > +1 - I do think that more control and explicit information before > first run would be good.
