Description
Adds a new per collection-index configuration option
use_indexer_date_filter.When enabled for a collection, pywb forwards
fromandtodate parameters to the indexer, if present.This shifts date filtering to the indexer, reducing pywb CPU and memory usage, preventing OOM conditions, and lowering network traffic.
Unfortunately, I could not find an appropriate section in the documentation to add this parameter description.
Motivation and Context
This feature allows heavy date filtering to be offloaded to the indexer, which prevents pywb server overload and high memory usage for large collections.
