Compaction deleting oak indexes

[Tom_Fought]

Is it normal for compaction to delete oak indexes? So that they have to be re-indexed/rebuilt?

They aren't removed from /oak:indexes

Hey Tom,

During compaction, oak indexes wont be deleted Unless you manually delete them or remove the /:async node to trigger a reindex of asynchrounous indexes

If you are on AEM6.2, make sure you are on Oak-run tool version 1.4.8+ coz now AEM hai 2 index lanes async and fulltext async and if you run a checkpoint cleanup, it might remove both checkpoint  and cause a full async index

Hope this helps.
