Hi Doug,

indexer_state is how the indexer keeps track of what it has and hasn't indexed. Deleting that will effectively make the indexer believe nothing is indexed.

solr_index is the actual index, so if you delete that nothing will be searchable. If you delete it but don't delete indexer_state, the indexer will continue to believe everything is indexed.

Instead of doing either of the above, without referring to docs I deleted only solr_index/index . Upon restarting and waiting overnight, I now have NO records left, only the repositories show up now. Whoops...
