What does the async state "temp-async" indicate in a merged custom index? Help finding documentation on this.

We have a customization of an OOTB index that after our last deployment was merged and the "async" attribute was set to "temp-async". 

 

jcr:primaryType="oak:QueryIndexDefinition" async="temp-async" async-previous="[async,nrt]"

 

I'm having trouble finding documentation on this, so I'm hoping someone here can help.

@preston-3  Please check the below documentation, you can set async="async" if it wants to run as background thread

 

  • The async property which must be set to async. This sends the index update process to a background thread.

    Right. So what causes it to get set to "temp-async" instead?

    Hi @preston-3 

    I believe your answer is here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-10265

    There is a small comment that mentions the temp-async also in the Apache Oak implementation: https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-oak/blob/trunk/oak-core/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/oak/plugins/index/importer/IndexImporter.java

    Also if you need to understand more about indexes, this one is useful as well: https://lists.apache.org/thread/q6kjgdc8fmx3f7tlx4dzvnnf93mmvttp

      Not really. I think it's helpful in providing documentation on what the "async" attribute should be set to, but not what the "temp-async" state is or how it got there, which is my question.

      Tethich provided the most useful answer, but it's the same links I found my way to and it's not official Adobe documentation. It's strange that this isn't documented anywhere.
