Hi,
(followup to discussions and comments from
https://github.com/apache/james-project/pull/2373#issuecomment-2293024760)
There was a topic how to handle startup when the search index (in this particular case handled by
Lucene) is empty. Should we trigger an automatic re-index? I'd argue that it would be sensible as
without it server may return invalid data (without manually triggering reindex using REST).
Regarding reindexing via REST - another point/question: should we finish the operation with the
explicit "commit" operation? It may be less relevant with OpenSearch but in case of Lucene, until
commit data is not written/flushed to disk from what I understand. IMHO doing `.commig()` after
reindex seems sensible. What's more, with reindexing whole database it wouldn't impact/be a problem
during shutdown (under certain circumstances the shutdown grace period may be short and the
commit/write of the data may not fit during that time)
