The startup behavior for the MDEX Engine has changed when there are updates to be applied.

Previously, if there were partial update files in the updates directory when the MDEX Engine was started, it would first process all update files before opening the server port and accepting queries.

In 6.1.4, the MDEX Engine starts processing queries immediately, even when updates are found in the updates directory at startup time. In other words, the MDEX Engine's startup behavior is to process updates in parallel with queries.
