The DVAL_STATIC_RANK attribute is deprecated starting with the MDEX Engine 6.1.0. Note that this attribute is reinstated in the MDEX Engine 6.1.4.

If you specify the value for this attribute in releases 6.1.0 - 6.1.3, the Dgraph ignores it and issues a warning if it is found. Starting with the MDEX Engine 6.1.4, the MDEX Engine uses this attribute again.

In versions of the Endeca IAP prior to 6.1.0, you could specify the DVAL_STATIC_RANK attribute on the STATS element in the XML configuration files.

The STATS element instructs the MDEX Engine to return statistics about refinements (dimension values) as part of the search query results.

The DVAL_STATIC_RANK attribute of the STATS element specified whether every dimension value's static rank had to be returned as a property on the dimension value. The default value was FALSE.
