Description

The idea is incrementing a version number in the metastore on each change. We can then tag an indexing plan to a metastore version and just check if the plan version is the same as the one in the metastore to know if we need to schedule a new plan.

The metastore version should track only index/source config changes.

Research direction

Start by locating the metastore change handling, indexing-plan creation, and scheduling entry points. Define how a version changes only for index/source configuration updates, then verify that an indexing plan with the current metastore version does not trigger a new schedule while a changed version does.
