# RespectChildFullness

Instructs the Distributed Index Handler to stop indexing documents into a child server that reports that it is full. Use this setting when the Distributed Index Handler is running in non-mirror mode to distribute documents dynamically across a bank of child servers based on user-specified document limits.

This option is available in simple non-mirror, DistributeOnBatch and DistributeSendMinimal distribution modes. You cannot use this option with DistributeByDate, DistributeByFields, or DistributeByReference.

Setting `RespectChildFullness` to `True`, implicitly sets CollectChildFullness to `True`.

Use the `MaxDocumentCount` option in the `[Server]` section of the IDOL Server configuration file to set the number of documents that the child IDOL Servers accept before returning `<FULL>`.
