AEM Content Fragment with GraphQL Index Package 1.0.3

The deprecated /oak:index/lucene index can cause a FileNotFoundException which sends the indexing into an endless loop .The workaround is to add the system property oak.indexTracker.autoRefresh to 3153600000000, as follows, when starting AEM:

• java -Doak.indexTracker.autoRefresh=3153600000000

When trying to move/delete/publish either Content Fragments or Sites/Pages, there is an issue when Content Fragment references are fetched, as the background query fails; that is, the functionality does not work.
To ensure correct operation, you must add the following properties to the index definition node /oak:index/damAssetLucene (no re-indexing is required):

"tags": [
    "visualSimilaritySearch"
  ]
"refresh": true
