Research direction

Start at IndexServiceBean.indexDatasetInNewTransaction and compare the change from #12712 with the 6.12 behavior described in the issue. Restore direct dataset indexing there so full and recursive reindexes do not queue every dataset at once; verify that progress, duration, and index-time recording reflect the indexing work.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Type: Bug

Since #12712, IndexServiceBean.indexDatasetInNewTransaction fires an indexing request instead of indexing the dataset itself. In 6.12 it indexed the dataset right away, one at a time. Now a full reindex, and a recursive collection reindex (also used when moving a collection), queue every dataset as an @Asynchronous call at once.

Effects:

  • The shared async pool is flooded: indexing after an edit, exports and index time updates wait behind the whole backlog.
  • The progress and duration log lines of the reindex no longer reflect the indexing.
  • Index times are only recorded when the backlog drains.

Fix: index the dataset directly in indexDatasetInNewTransaction again.
