[CWB] Appending text to an existing corpus

[Hardie, Andrew]

Unfortunately not, you need to re-index from scratch. A p-attribute includes frequency data and a reverse index as well as the actual corpus data, not to mention that the latter is compressed using codes dependent on  frequency: so adding anything means the whole p-att must change.

Best

Hi all,
I have a pretty simple question: is there any way to append text to an existing corpus?

We're working on a corpus based on data collected from a webcrawler and would like to periodically  update the corpus with new data from the crawler.
