If the global index appears to be growing too large, you can reload from the backend directory servers.

  • To override the configuration of the prime-index-source property, run the reload-index tool with the --fromDS subcommand.

    You can do this on a one-off basis if the global index appears to be growing too large.

    $ bin/reload-index \
      --bindPassword password \
      --baseDN "dc=example,dc=com" \ 
      --fromDS
