Pausing LQE Re-index to Compact
We are in the middle of re-indexing and are about 18% through when we realized that the size of the indices are at risk of outstripping the space granted to the application.
We've attempted to "Pause All" from the Lifecycle Query Engine Administration tab and the indexing does not appear to have stopped.
We would like to stop the re-indexing, compact the indices, then continue our process. Is this possible?
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
You cannot pause LQE indexing, compact the index and resume indexing. You need to restart LQE, run the compaction and then reindex.
Please also note that for compaction to succeed, you need at least double the size of the current indices in free space available. For example, if you indices are 10 GB, you need 20 GB free as the compaction copies the current indices into a temp directory, does the compaction on the temp copy of the indices and then moves the compacted index into the main directory once complete.
