Description

We want the ability to add some constraints on the bounds of the splits that Quickwit produces. For instance, a daily split boundary policy would ensure that splits do not span across multiple days.

To do

  • Naming (boundary, partition, ...)
  • Spec how index config declares policy
  • Ensure indexer starts a new split each time a boundary is crossed
  • Ensure splits are not merged across boundaries

Research direction

Start by tracing the index config, indexer split creation, and split-merging paths described in the issue. Clarify the boundary or partition naming and configuration shape, then verify that a boundary starts a new split and prevents merges across it.
