Syncprov & synrepl indices

[Jaap Winius <jwinius@umrk.nl>]

Hi all,

When configuring a provider for replication with the syncprov option,  
using the syncprov-sessionlog option requires searching for the  
entryUUID attribute. While not a requirement, setting an eq index for  
this attribute can improve the performance of the session log  
considerably. For the same reason, setting an eq index for the  
entryCSN attribute when using the syncprov-checkpoint option is also  
recommended.

My question is in regard to the consumer. This documentation...

   http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html#Syncrepl

... shows an example consumer configuration (18.3.1.3) that also  
includes setting eq indices for entryCSN and entryUUID. Is this really  
useful, or only if the consumer is configured to act as a provider as  
well?

Thanks,

Jaap
