qq - for offline segment generation: In SegmentGeneratorConfig should either autoGeneratedInvertedIndex or createInvertedIndexDuringSegmentGeneration be set to true for inverted indexes to get generated?

you dont need to set either of those. you just need inv index list set in the table config.

by default the indexes are generated on the server

after the segment gets pushed and downloaded by server

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure - since the SegmentGeneratorConfig doesn't set the inverted index columns if those aren't set. But we do have them in the TableConfig.

So I guess the server uses the IndexConfig from the TableConfig then?

some metadata is set in the segment metadata during segment creation (hasInvertedIndex = true) which tells server to create index. this is set based on table config.
