Re-creating indexes

ArchivesSpace keeps track of what has been indexed by using the files under data/indexer_state. If these files are missing, the indexer assumes that nothing has been indexed and reindexes everything.

To force ArchivesSpace to reindex all records, just delete the directory /path/to/archivesspace/data/indexer_state. Since the indexing process is cumulative, there’s no harm in indexing the same document multiple times.
