Thomas Mueller commented on OAK-6471: ------------------------------------- I think using Json is a good idea. I have implemented Json to Oak mapping (well, using the JCR API, but that's a small difference) for the JsonIndexCommand. It works quite well. There is some, but not much, magic. For example, for the value type of jcr:primaryType (maybe we want to support mixings as well). Numbers are long except if they contains a dot, in which case it's Double. In case you need to set the value type (I don't think you need to, for index definitions), I used an escape mechanism at the property _name_ level: if a property starts with a {, then the property type follows. I think this is better than setting the type at the value, because e.g. empty arrays also have a type. > Support adding or updating index definitions via oak-run > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OAK-6471 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-6471 > Project: Jackrabbit Oak > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: indexing, run > Reporter: Chetan Mehrotra > Assignee: Chetan Mehrotra > Fix For: 1.8 > > > Currently oak-run can be used to reindex an existing index present in > NodeStore. I would like to extend this feature set to support adding or > updating the index definition and then reindexing them. The end user story > would be like below > Development team updates or introduces a new index definition and gives it to > system admin. Then admin can use oak-run and give it reference to the index > definition and then tooling takes care of indexing (with read only mode) and > then importing the updated index definition back into the repository. > To start with the index definitions would be provided as a json file with a > single json file containing index definitions which needs to be reindexed. > The file format would be similar to one we used for dumping index definition > (OAK-6224). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
