Description

Right now the README has you do the steps in order

  • Download dumps and create DB with createsb.sh
  • Build materialized tables
  • Download and load search indexes
  • Set up replication which adds non-indexed data

Later on it talks about setting up Live Indexing. The trouble is, if you've already set up and run replication (by reading the docs in order) then you have a bunch of new replication packets added which have not been indexed. So even if you set up Live Indexing now, there will be a whole chunk of data that wasn't indexed. You would need to do the full reindex ...

I think the option to set up Live Indexing should come before adding replication instructions. The Live Indexing section even says Build search indexes if they either have not been built or are outdated. And of course, they will be outdated because you just ran replication ...

By having the Live Indexing in place BEFORE starting replication, one would more easily keep the data and indexes in sync.
