------------------------------------
Summary: Provide a way to pass indexing related state to
IndexEditorProvider
Key: OAK-4642
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-4642
Project: Jackrabbit Oak
Issue Type: Technical task
Components: core
Reporter: Chetan Mehrotra
Assignee: Chetan Mehrotra
Fix For: 1.6
An index editor needs access to some more data points like below in the
indexing process
# reindexing - Currently the index implementation use some heuristic like check
before root state being empty to determine if they are running in reindexing
mode
# indexing mode - sync or async
# index path of the index (see OAK-4152)
# CommitInfo (see OAK-4640)
For this we need to provide a way to pass these data points from indexing flow
* Approach 1 - Introduce a new interface which takes an {{IndexingContext}}
instance which provide access to such datapoints. This would require some
broader change
** Whereever the IndexEditorProvider is invoked it would need to check if the
instance implements new interface. If yes then new method needs to be used
* Approach 2 - Here we can introduce such data points as part of callback
interface. With this we would need to implement such methods in places where
code constructs the callback
For now #1 looks cleaner but may require broader change
