I don't dislike the concept, but are you sure that is actually going to be faster? If you have the bulk loading trigger async indexing events, it won't be much different than what the MassIndexer would do, with the difference it will need to re-load all the data again. Sounds more efficient to index the entities when you have them in memory already, without having to reload them from the database. I guess in your case "bulk loading" might finish a bit earlier, but overall it's much more I/O work. > > It might be a documentation patch if there is an easy way to do so but > we haven't found it yet. I guess the freshly committed "Indexing Interceptors" [1] could be used for that purpose as well. Surely, API wise a global switch might be nicer.
