*.spds Files on plain indexes

Plain Index Files

  • What exactly are *.spds files for?
  • Why is no *.spds file generated for very large indexes?
  • Is it possible to suppress the creation of *.spds files?

Thank you very much for the clarification.

Best regards,
Peter

.spds stores document texts.

  • Why is no *.spds file generated for very large indexes?

Perhaps because you disabled docstore.

  • Is it possible to suppress the creation of *.spds files?

Yes, see Creating a table > Local tables > Plain and real-time table settings | Manticore Search Manual
