Problem with indexes.

[Marc Jadoul <marcj@globalsign.net>]

Hi,

There is something strange in my ldap with indexes:

For example, i defined an index on the cn attribute. Then i have done
some test, adding and deleting entries.
What i see now (running slapd with -d 1) is that deleted entries have
been deleted from the id2entry.dbb index, but not from the cn.dbb index.
The consequence is of course a slowdown of search operation when using a
filter like '(cn=name)'. The cn.dbb has for example 100 candidate for
the filter, but 90 of these entries have been deleted in fact.

does it look for 90 entries that does not exist anymore:

=> id2entry_r( 36208 )
=> ldbm_cache_open( "/mnt/u01/ldap_data/id2entry.dbb", 7, 600 )
<= ldbm_cache_open (cache 1)
<= id2entry_r( 36208 ) not found

Is it normal or is a known problem ?
Is there solution (without recreate all the indexes every 2 month or
so)?
