Speeding Up Indexing

Submit indexing jobs in parallel
Planning will prohibit jamming of network links
- Run one local site in conjunction with a remote site
- e.g., run a local D0 index along with Babar; run Fermilab site along with Carnegie Mellon
Offload indexing to remote site “partners”
- Reduce bandwidth for everyone
- Greater scheduling flexibility for partner
- Can be done automatically thru a cron job
- Can automatically transfer collection with ftp
- HEPNRC can provide Indexer to any HEP site free
- Near-zero effort
