indexing.use_manifest

Background

This parameter is used to control the use of a manifest file during indexing.

If set to true the indexer will look for a manifest.txt file in the log directory. This file should contain a list of file paths, one per line. The indexer will index this list of files rather than scanning over the data directory.

The manifest.txt file is produced by the Funnelback web crawler.

this option should not be used if you are using a WARCStore.

Setting the key

Set this configuration key in the search package or data source configuration.

Use the configuration key editor to add or edit the indexing.use_manifest key, and set the value. This can be set to any valid Boolean value.

Default value

indexing.use_manifest=false

Examples

Turn on the use of the manifest:

indexing.use_manifest=true
