Invalidation step report

[ChristopheBordieu]

Hi team

In 1.7.35 logs, I can find twice a log regarding invalidation of repositories:

...
2022-08-17 08:01:26.189+0000 INFO t1 Statistics.logIt: Done invalidating repositories (1249 valid, 1249 working) (took 5.351 seconds)
...
2022-08-17 08:02:20.118+0000 INFO t1 Statistics.logIt: Done invalidating repositories (1249 valid, 1249 working) (took 2.632 seconds)
...

Is it expected to have twice these "same" ines before and after history cache actions?
What invalidation step is actually? What "valid" vs "working" mean?

Is this for the webapp or indexer ?

Hi @vladak

It is for indexer.
I am reporting some data each time I rhave run indexer grepping the opengrok logs.
And actually I don't clearly understand what these messages mean so my question.

[vladak]

Firstly, the invalidation of repositories during indexer run is done only once, at least in the current version. The invalidation happens whenever a new configuration is set. As for the classification, "valid" means that the related directory was identified as a repository (e.g. Git), "working" has a a bit of a broad/vague meaning (that can be also overridden for given repository type) however basically it means that it is possible to interact with the repository (e.g. query the history).
