The rationale is not to miss any documents. If we had set the last_index_time after the indexing is completed then we may lose the rows inserted/modified after the query of the previous import. In the current setup, some documents may get re-imported again but because most users have a uniqueKey, it is not a big problem. > Also, I noticed a discrepancy between the commented time string and the > actual last_index_time value.
