--partition-dir

Why we added this flag: the status command needs to read partition metadata even when the manifest is unavailable; this flag lets you point directly at the partition directory tree.

What it does

  • Path to the folder containing partition subdirectories (typically the same --output-root used during preparation).
  • Used by idxr vectorize status to compare manifest entries against indexed outputs.
  • Optional when the manifest is accessible; required otherwise.

Typical usage

idxr vectorize status \
  --model "$IDXR_MODEL" \
  --partition-dir workdir/partitions \
  --partition-out-dir workdir/chroma_partitions

Tips

  • Pair with --partition-out-dir to get a concise summary of which partitions have completed indexing.
  • Include the status command in CI to fail fast when an indexing job leaves partitions partially processed.
