There is currently no way to shrink the index file and no plans to add that. The index file generally grows and stabilizes with your use case based on the max number of messages the broker will have stored at any given time. There's not really any reason to need to worry about shrinking the index file and it shouldn't grow much larger than 10% of your max journal size. This is just an estimate though because the index could in theory get much larger if you have a ton of really small messages (< 1KB) to track and it would be smaller if you have lots of big messages (megabytes)
