dsetool list_index_files

Lists all index files for a search index on the local node. The results show file name, encryption, disk usage, decrypted size, and encryption overhead. The index file is encrypted only when the backing CQL table is encrypted and the search index uses EncryptedFSDirectoryFactory; otherwise, the index file is decrypted.

Restriction: Command is supported only on nodes with DSE Search workloads.

Synopsis

dsetool list_index_files <keyspace_name> <table_name> [--index <directory>]
Syntax legend
Syntax conventions Description

Italic, bold, or < >

Syntax diagrams and code samples use one or more of these styles to mark placeholders for variable values. Replace placeholders with a valid option or your own user-defined value.

In CQL statements, angle brackets are required to enclose data types in a set, list, map, or tuple. Separate the data types with a comma. For example: <datatype2

In Search CQL statements, angle brackets are used to identify the entity and literal value to overwrite the XML element in the schema and solrconfig files, such as @<xml_entity>='<xml_entity_type>'.

[ ]

Square brackets surround optional command arguments. Do not type the square brackets.

( )

Parentheses identify a group to choose from. Do not type the parentheses.

|

A pipe separates alternative elements. Type any one of the elements. Do not type the pipe.

...

Indicates that you can repeat the syntax element as often as required.

'

Single quotation marks must surround literal strings in CQL statements. Use single quotation marks to preserve upper case. + For Search CQL only: Single quotation marks surround an entire XML schema declaration, such as '<<schema> ... </schema>>'

{ }

Map collection. Curly braces enclose maps ({ <key_datatype>:<value_datatype> }) or key value pairs ({ <key>:<value> }). A colon separates the key and the value.

;

Ends a CQL statement.

--

Separate command line options from command arguments with two hyphens. This syntax is useful when arguments might be mistaken for command line options.

keyspace_name.table_name

Required. The keyspace and table names of the search index. Keyspace and table names are case-sensitive. Enclose names that contain uppercase in double quotation marks.

--index

The data directory that contains the index files.

  • If not specified, the default directory is inferred from the search index name.

  • <directory> - A specified file path to the solr.data directory that contains the search index files.

Examples

To list the index files:

dsetool list_index_files

The results show file name, encryption, disk usage, decrypted size, and encryption overhead:

Filename                    Encryption       Disk usage          Decrypted size      Encryption overhead
--------                    ----------       ----------          ----------          --------------
segments_1                  N/A              7124 bytes          N/A                 N/A
write.lock                  N/A              3240 bytes          N/A                 N/A

To list the index files in a specified directory:

dsetool list_index_files /My_data_dir
