Hi Community:
Sometimes, I have a painful requirement when dealing with large repositories (let's say more than 10M of documents).
I have to apply an aspect (cm:indexControl) and some properties (cm:isIndexed=true, and cm:isContentIndexed=false) on every document of the repository. What strategies may you use in a very large repository ? Is there a safer or controlled way for doing this ?
In the past I did it in smaller repos with a basic script, useful but I think it is not enough for this case.
- I used REST API for obtaining the full set of nodeRefs to apply. Basically I did TYPE based paginated searches for every document type.
- And then I iterated over the set of custom nodeRefs, with a simple custom webscript for applying the aspect and properties on each node.
Surely this is not the most effective / fast way for doing. What do you think ? Is there a way for not doing this one by one ? How would you improve each part ?
I use Alfresco 5.2 EE and Alfresco Search Services 1.3.
Kind regards and thanks in advance.

P.S: Yes, the idea is reindexing SOLR later, for getting smaller SOLR contentstore and indices.
