Nexus "Publish Indexes"
I asked this question on the nexus users list but didn't get a response.
Since Nexus and Maven are closely related, I hope you guys don't mind if
I ask it here.
I was going through the definitive guide and noticed that under
scheduling, there is a task called "Publish Indexes". The description
in the guide is somewhat limited.
What does "Publish Indexes" mean? How is this different from simply
rebuilding the index?

Hi,
An issue has been opened concerning the update of the index on the fly:
https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/NEXUS-997
Best Regards

The group index is created automatically when there's a group made and
any reindex on the group will also update it, but it will also reindex
all the repos in the group. This is why we separated the publish step
from a full reindex. Since the index is created automatically, there's
no need for a create index option.

I mean the indexes that Nexus uses internally. If you deploy something
and then go to the Nexus UI and search for it, it should be there
immediately with no further action. If you're pulling the index into
m2e, then the publish needs to occur for the previously mentioned
reasons. If you see that it is not indexed immediately and visible from
the UI, check that the user you are logged in to the UI has permissions
to the repo where it exists (the search results are filtered based on
permissions). If you still have problems, then lets discuss more
debugging on the Nexus User list.

Thanks for the answer. I didn't recieve that response though. I just
went through my inbox. Our corporation mailer may have blocked it. Even
on the nabble site, there is a security warning on your response.
WRT your resonse though, that does answer my question, thank you. I was
always wondering how to create an index for a "group" since I didn't see
that option when I right clicked on a group. This is good to know.
BTW. Is it possible to do this without using the scheduler? Wouldn't it
make sense to have a "create index" option when you right click on a
group so the user can do it manually?
The other thing I would like to ask about is this comment:
"The internal indexes are always updated in realtime..."
Do you mean the Nexus hosted drepository indexes? If so, I have not
observed this behaviour. For instance, if I deploy an artifact to my
Nexus repository, it does not automatically update the index. I have
always had to re-index it manually. Thats actually why I started to
look at the scheduler to see if I could at least semi-automate it.
