AgraphIndex brick

The AgraphIndex brick runs Agidx on several Dgidx outputs, each of which can be stored on a different machine.

AgraphIndex brick settings

Setting

Description

num_partitions

Required. Specifies how many partitions will be combined. There must be one Dgidx output for each partition.

output_path

Required. Specifies where to put the Agidx output. This path must exist on each of the partitionN_machines. The final output of the AgraphIndex brick will be placed on the last partitionN_machine, in the location specified by this setting.

partition0_machine, partition1_machine, ...

Required for all partitions from 0 to num_partitions - 1. Specifies the name of the Machine brick where the Dgidx output for a given partition is stored.

partition0_path, partition1_path, ...

Required for all partitions from 0 to num_partitions - 1. Specifies the path to the Dgidx output.

endeca_mdex_bin

Required. Set to the pathname of the bin directory in the Endeca MDEX Engine distribution you are using.

agidx_options

Optional command-line flags to pass to Agidx.

agidx_binary

Optional path to the Agidx (aggregated indexing) program.

Note: You can use this setting to override the endeca_mdex_bin default setting.

wget_binary

Path to the wget file-retrieval program file (installed as part of the standard Endeca installation).

This setting is optional; if it is not specified in the control script, the system looks for it in the %ENDECA_ROOT%\utilities directory on Windows and in $ENDECA_ROOT/utilities on UNIX.

perl_binary

Optional. Specifies which Perl interpreter to use on the destination machine. (The Endeca software includes and requires version 5.8.3 of Perl.)

In the following Windows example, AgraphIndex runs Agidx using the output of three Dgidx partitions:
agidx : AgraphIndex
	num_partitions = 3
	partition0_machine = idx00
	partition0_path = \
		C:\endeca\data\dgidx_output\partition0\dgidxout
	partition1_machine = idx01
		partition1_path = \
		C:\endeca\data\dgidx_output\partition1\dgidxout
	partition2_machine = idx02
	partition2_path = \
		C:\endeca\data\dgidx_output\partition2\dgidxout
	output_path = C:\endeca\data\agidx_output
