CollectChildFullness

Instructs the Distributed Index Handler to send GetStatus actions to its child servers to collect fullness information. Use this setting when the Distributed Index Handler is running in non-mirror mode to distribute documents dynamically across a bank of child servers based on user-specified document limits. Use the GetChildStatusMode parameter to determine when the Distributed Index Handler sends the GetStatus actions.

If CollectChildFullness is set to true, the Distributed Index Handler aggregates the fullness information from its child servers, and reports the results in the <FULL> and <FULL_RATIO> tags when it receives a GetStatus action.

If the Distributed Index Handler has no information from its child servers (For example, when CollectChildFullness is set to false) then the Distributed Index Handler reports that it is full.

Use the MaxDocumentCount option in the [Server] section of the IDOL server configuration file to set the number of documents that the child IDOL servers accept before returning <FULL>.
