100

Minimum number of nodes in an index until segments are merged

1.0

volatileIdleTime

3

Idle time in seconds until the volatile index part is moved to a persistent index even though minMergeDocs is not reached.

1.0

maxMergeDocs

100000, >=1.4: 2147483647

Maximum number of nodes in segments that will be merged. The default value changed in Jackrabbit 1.4 to Integer.MAX_VALUE.

1.0

mergeFactor

maxFieldLength

10000

The number of words that are fulltext indexed at most per property.

1.1

bufferSize

10

Maximum number of documents that are held in a pending queue until added to the index

1.0

cacheSize

1000

Size of the document number cache. This cache maps uuids to lucene document numbers

forceConsistencyCheck

false

Runs a consistency check on every startup. If false, a consistency check is only performed when the search index detects a prior forced shutdown.

Class name of a lucene analyzer to use for fulltext indexing of text.

1.0

queryClass

org.apache.jackrabbit.core.query.QueryImpl

Class name that implements the javax.jcr.query.Query interface. This class must also extend from the class: org.apache.jackrabbit.core.query.AbstractQueryImpl

1.0

respectDocumentOrder

true, >=1.5: false

If true and the query does not contain an 'order by' clause, result nodes will be in document order. For better performance when queries return a lot of nodes set to 'false' (In 1.5 'false' is now the default).

1.0

textFilterClasses

org.apache.jackrabbit.core.query.lucene.TextPlainTextFilter

Sets the list of text filters (and text extractors) to use for extracting text content from binary properties. The list must be comma (or whitespace) separated, and contain fully qualified class names of the TextFilter (and since 1.3 TextExtractor ) classes to be used. The configured classes must all have a public default constructor.

1.0

resultFetchSize

2147483647

The number of results the query handler should initially fetch when a query is executed. Default value: Integer.MAX_VALUE (-> all)

1.2.1

extractorPoolSize

0, >=1.5: twice #ofAvailProcessors

Defines the maximum number of background threads that are used to extract text from binary properties. If set to zero no background threads are allocated and text extractors run in the current thread.

1.3

extractorTimeout

100

A text extractor is executed using a background thread if it doesn't finish within this timeout defined in milliseconds. This parameter has no effect if extractorPoolSize is zero.

1.3

extractorBackLogSize

100, >=1.6: 2147483647

The size of the extractor pool back log. If all threads in the pool are busy, incomming work is put into a wait queue. If the wait queue reaches the back log size, incomming extractor work will not be queued anymore but will be executed with the current thread.

1.4

synonymProviderConfigPath

none

The path to the synonym provider configuration file. This path interpreted relative to the path parameter. If there is a FileSystem element inside the SearchIndex element, then this path is interpreted relative to the root path of the FileSystem. Whether this parameter is mandatory depends on the synonym provider implementation. The default value is null (-> not set).

1.4

indexingConfiguration

none

The path to the indexing configuration file. See also IndexingConfiguration

1.4

indexingConfigurationClass

org.apache.jackrabbit.core.query.lucene.IndexingConfigurationImpl

The name of the class that implements org.apache.jackrabbit.core.query.lucene.IndexingConfiguration. See also IndexingConfiguration.

1.4

enableConsistencyCheck

false

If set to true a consistency check is performed depending on the parameter forceConsistencyCheck. If set to false no consistency check is performed on startup, even if a redo log had been applied.

1.4
