Hi This looks good. Just to add more Sorry for missing to mention this on the MB but i think its better to also mention the rationale behind having two timeouts one at query level and one at indexer level. This timeout at indexer was introduced as index scans will consume indexer resources like memory and cpu while holding snapshots and performing range scan. For a typical index scan we don't expect indexer to run for longer than 2 minutes hence the default. Thanks |

Docs issue: DOC-13306
Adds documentation for the Index Settings REST API, including the
indexer.settings.scan_timeoutparameter.Also adds driveby fixes to the OpenAPI generator templates, including better handling of composite schemas.
We've had previous requests to document this REST API, but so far have always decided to leave it undocumented. However, over the years several references to this REST API have crept into the documentation. With this ticket, I've decided that it's time to drop the pretence and add a full reference page. I have added a warning near the top of the page to say that "you should only change the Index Service settings when advised to do so by Couchbase Support".
There are a lot of changed files, but the only ones you really need to review for this ticket are index-settings.yaml and the generated index.adoc.
