I'll put a suggestion here that we discussed previously: to support this checkpointing for pauses/shutdowns, the indexer could be writing to a "scratch" database (whatever that means for each backend) along with resume data and move them into place when finished. You mentioned that for liblmdb, this would need support for a database to be renamed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
