[Archivesspace_Users_Group] PUI indexing

[Schanz, Megan]

The files don't get written to the state directory until indexing has fully completed. So if ArchivesSpace restarts before then, it will try to re-index from the start again.

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] PUI indexing

Is it typical for PUI indexing to run through all records each time ArchivesSpace restarts?  Or is my indexing just never fully completed?

The staff indexer seems to understand that there are no new records and does not run through everything:

But the PUI, so far in my experience, restarts from 0 each time. Just trying to understand if this is normal behavior. I don't have anything in the directory:

archivesspace/data/indexer_pui_state

besides the repositories_repositories.dat. Will there be more files there when PUI indexing really completes?

Thanks,
Tom
