Xapian devel - Apr 2019 - Question about Omega

Hello!

I am trying to fix the FIX-ME comment at line 556 of 'index_file.cc',
but I
have a few questions:
- I am not sure of how to update the owner of a document. It is added to
the document through add_boolean_term at line 1249, but I don't how to
remove it (there is remove_term(), but I am not sure that is what I am
looking for) or update it.
- From DirectoryIterator I can get the owner and group of a file. Is there
any other information (that can modify ctime) that I can get from it?

Comment: FIXME We could be cleverer here and check mtime too when use_ctime
isset - if the ctime has changed but the mtime is unchanged, we can just
update the existing Document and avoid having to re-extract text, etc.

Cheers,
    Bruno.

Yes, remove_term() works however the term was added (add_boolean_term()
is really just a convenience wrapper for add_term() with wdf_inc set
to 0 since you don't want filter terms to count towards the document
length).

You'll need to look at the document's termlist to see what the currently
recorded owner is.

I think those are all.
