Hello, The implementation for index centralization is completed. So the new index creation, update and delete processes will be as follows.
Previously, index creation took 2 arguments collection folder and index folder as well as the others took index folder as argument. Ex:- build-index-on-collection(path-to-collection, path-to-index) update-index(path-to-index) In new approach, all three functions will take collection directory as argument. Ex:- build-index-on-collection(path-to-collection) update-index(path-to-collection) All indexes will be stored in the folder specified in local.xml with in the following tags. *<indexDirectory>IndexDir</indexDirectory>* In this folder, there will be an XML file containing collection and index location. The xml structure is as follows. *<index-directory>* * <indexes collection="path_to_collection1" index="path_to_index1"/>* * <indexes collection="path_to_collection2" index="path_to_index2"/>* *</index-directory>* Each index will be stored in subfolders in *IndexDir*. In each index folder there is metadata file and index for corresponding collection. *Current Issues:* So far index creation, update and delete functions are working without any problem. (With both parallel and centralized-parallel conditions) But index access process does not work as expected. It chooses the old way of execution. *Work in Progress:* 1. Fixing the issue in index access function. 2. Implement show-index function.
