Re: [jdt-core-dev] Maintenance guide for the JDT index

Hi Stefan,

Good that you plan to document this. You can put it in https://wiki.eclipse.org/JDT_Core_Programmer_Guide#Indexing. Ideal would be to create a page for the new indexing and put a pointer to the page - you can rename the existing section as legacy_indexing

Regards,
Manoj

TL;DR: I'd like to write a maintenance guide for the JDT index. Where should I put it and in what form?

While working on the new index, I've developed techniques for addressing the most common tasks:

- How do you benchmark the indexer?
- How do you find the cause of index corruption?
- How do you add new structures to the index?
- How can you test the index in a fragment state?
- How do you locate the problem if the content of the index doesn't match what's expected?
- How do you determine what's taking up the most space in the index?
- How do you test if an existing index is corrupt?

I was thinking of writing a guide describing the various processes I follow, to help others that may need to fix bugs with it in the future.

Where would the best place be to put such a guide? Since the folks on this list are the main audience for it, what form would you prefer to consume it in?
