Method Details

getIndexingDepth

long getIndexingDepth()

Yields the depth of the indexing, that is, the number of uppermost blocks for which indexing supporting data is maintained. The larger this number, the more resilient is indexing to large history changes, but higher is its computational cost and database usage.

Returns:

the indexing depth; a negative value means that supporting data is kept forever, it is never deleted, which protects completely from history changes

getIndexingPause

long getIndexingPause()

Yields the pausing time (in milliseconds) from an indexing iteration to the next indexing iteration. Reducing this number will make indexing more reactive to changes in the store, at an increased computational cost.

Returns:

the pausing time, in milliseconds
