We define many custom nodes in our application and turn on indexing
with the hopes of indexing only a few properties on only a small portion
of those custom nodes. From what we read in the following issue:
http://jackrabbit.510166.n4.nabble.com/Writing-indexes-takes-a-long-time-td633631.html
every property on every node type gets indexed unless you have a rule
defined to say otherwise. If this is true, then *what is the easiest
way to turn off indexing for every node type so that we only need to
specify a few rules for the few node types that we need indexing on?*
Do you have to specify an <index-rule> for every node type specifying no
<property> elements in order to effectively turn all indexing off?
Based on the first example in the following link:
http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/IndexingConfiguration
an index-rule will apply to all types that extend from the type
(nodeType) specified in the rule. Based on that fact we would think the
following rule would turn off indexing for every node type. Is this true?
<index-rule nodeType="nt:base">
</index-rule>
We ask because our indexes seem huge and rebuilding now takes forever
(like 24+ hours) when we need to rebuild the index.
