Question #403697 on Graphite changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/403697
Status: Open => Answered
Jason Dixon proposed the following answer:
The INDEX_FILE is used by the /browser/search and /metrics/index.json
routes. It's a faster alternative to walking all of the metrics
directories every time. If you don't update it regularly your search and
index.json results will be stale, but if you don't use those features
much then it's not hurting anything to ignore it.
