REINDEX Meaning and
Definition
-
Reindex is a verb that refers to the process of rearranging or restructuring the index, or in simpler terms, the ordering or organizing mechanism, of a collection of data. This action allows for faster and more efficient retrieval of information from a database or other storage systems.
In a database context, reindexing involves rebuilding the index for a table, which includes sorting the data based on a particular set of attributes to optimize search performance. This process may be necessary when there are significant changes to the data in a table, such as additions, updates, or deletions, as it helps maintain the integrity and efficiency of the index.
Reindexing can also refer to the action of creating a new index for a particular dataset or collection of documents, such as in the case of search engines. These search engines use indexes to catalog and organize web pages or documents, and reindexing allows for updated or new content to be properly incorporated into the index, ensuring accurate and relevant search results.
Overall, reindexing is a fundamental task in the realm of data management and information retrieval, where it involves the reordering or reconstruction of indexes to optimize data access and improve system performance.
Etymology of REINDEX
The word "reindex" is derived from two roots: "re-" and "index".
The prefix "re-" is of Latin origin and means "again" or "back". It is commonly used in English to indicate repetition or restoration. For example, in words like "rebuild", "revisit", or "reorganize".
The word "index" comes from the Latin word "index" meaning "pointer" or "indicator". In its noun form, an index is a list or catalog of information, typically found at the end of a book, which serves as a guide or reference to the contents of the book.
By combining these roots, "reindex" essentially means "to create an index again" or "to rebuild an index". In the context of databases or search engines, "reindexing" refers to the process of updating or recreating the index, which allows efficient searching and retrieval of information.
