Convert an existing index's evidence representation in place, between exact and approximate.

obikmer reindex INDEX [OPTIONS]

Arguments

Argument Description
INDEX Index directory to convert (modified in place)

Options

Option Default Description
--approx off Convert to approximate evidence (default direction is approximate → exact); requires -z/--evidence-bits/--fp
-z, --findere-z none Findere z parameter (≥ 1)
--evidence-bits none Fingerprint bits per slot (b)
--fp none Target false-positive rate per z-window
--block-size 1 Block size for the exact on-disk index (ignored when converting to approximate)

See index for the exact/approximate trade-off and the underlying false-positive model, and estimate to explore parameters beforehand. The index directory is locked for exclusive access during conversion.
