Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
In the refresh flow of remote store indexes, we determine the files to be uploaded, upload them and then upload the associated metadata. This, however, uploads the metadata even when there is no new files to upload. This can be optimised and metadata upload can be skipped for such cases.
Describe the solution you'd like
Optimise the segments upload flow to skip metadata upload when there are no newer segment files.
