Thanks Yonik! We want to go to Index replication soon (couple of months), which will also help with incremental updates. But for now we want a quick and dirty solution without running two servers. Does the utility look ok to index a CSV file? Is it safe to do in production environment? I know maintaining custom server code is not a good idea, but this is just until we can implement index replication.
