• Resetting an index will force re-indexing of all documents that match the index definition.
  An index usually needs to be reset once it reached its error quota and is in an Error state.

• There are many indexing configuration options available.

• A configuration key with a "per-index" scope can be customized for a specific index,
  overriding the server-wide and the database configuration values.

• The "per-index" configuration key can be set from:

  • The configuration tab in the Edit Index view in the Studio.
  • The index class constructor when defining an index.
  • The index definition when sending a putIndexesOperation.

Expert configuration options:

• Server.IndexingAffinityMask - Control the affinity mask of indexing threads
• Server.NumberOfUnusedCoresByIndexes - Set the number of cores that won't be used by indexes
