We will now initialize the index and create its schema. |
|
|
|
The [schema](http://fulmicoton.com/tantivy/tantivy/schema/index.html) defines |
|
|
|
the list of your fields, and for each field : |
|
|
|
- its name |
|
|
|
- its type, currently `u32` or `str` |
|
|
|
- how it should be indexed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can find more information about the latter on |
|

We want the title and the body to be tokenized and index. We want |
|
|
|
to also add the term frequency and term positions to our index. |

(To be honest, phrase queries are not yet implemented in tantivy, |
|
|
|
so the positions won't be really useful in this tutorial.) |

Running `tantivy new` will start a wizard that will help you go through |
|
|
|
the definition of the schema of our new index. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Like all the other commands of `tantivy`, you will have to |
|

pass it your index directory via the `-i` or `--index` |

parameter as follows. |
