Struct IndexWriter 

pub struct IndexWriter { /* private fields */ }

Implementations

impl IndexWriter

pub fn new(index: &TantivyIndex) -> Result<Self>

Create a new index writer from an existing index

pub fn add_chunk(&mut self, chunk: &Chunk) -> Result<()>

Add a chunk to the index

pub fn delete_by_path(&mut self, path: &str) -> Result<()>

Delete all chunks for a given file path

Used for incremental updates - delete old chunks before re-indexing. This is O(1) in Tantivy - it marks documents as deleted without scanning.

pub fn commit_and_reopen(self, index: &TantivyIndex) -> Result<Self>

Commit changes and return a new writer

This is used for periodic commits during large indexing operations to prevent unbounded memory growth in Tantivy’s internal buffers. After commit, the old writer is consumed and a fresh one is returned.

pub fn commit(self) -> Result<()>

Commit changes (final commit, consumes writer)
