Is it really generic setups role to determine if changes to an index invalidate the values it already holds? If you were to change properties of an index through code and not GS, then it would be up to you whether you reindexed all your objects or not.The problem is that GenericSetup does not know if your current index is of the same type and has the same settings/properties as the index that you specify in catalog.xml. Apparently it is hard/impossible to reliably compare the existing and the wanted index. So GenericSetup has no choice but to remove the existing index and make a new one.How about the following idea: - within the Zope core we define an _optional_ interface for indexes - something like: class IIndexConfiguration(Interface): def getConfiguration(): """ Returns a dict with index specific configuration parameters. """ - on the CMF/GS side we could register adapter for each index type we know (basically the Zope 2 core indexes, ExtendedPathIndex, TextIndexNG 3) and retrieve the related informationI do not understand why something like this should be necessary. When the export handler is able to extract all relevant configuration parameters for an index, why should the import handler not be able to check the configuration parameters in a profile against an existing index and determine that it needs to do nothing?
Huh? Because we're looking for a clean solution and not for a hack!Because this solution is extensible. An index can provide the introspection directly or another application could implement the functionality as needed through adaption. Having something hardcoded for each index type within the setuphandlers is a hacker solution. And the setuphandler should ideally not know about index internals.
