Multiprocess module for repository discovery and indexing.
This is a core component in the Algthm architecture, optimized for commodity hardware in cloud environments. The indexer has the obvious job of indexing repositories existing in the repository database.
The Indexer module is fed repository URLs by the Worker, which are then downloaded and checked out to the local file system. Once this process completes, various indexing processes are carried out on the repository source.
Indexers execute in their own process, this is possible due to its highly parallel nature. The number of workers that spawn is fixed and dependant on the hardware it's running on. Typically, 2 workers per core. Anymore than this is results in an non-optimal performing system.
