What changed

Document the Datanode Kafka WAL create_index option in the Nightly and v1.2 Remote WAL configuration pages. The update describes its default value of false, its distributed-mode limitation, and when enabling it can reduce Kafka reads and speed up WAL replay.

Closes #2724.

Scope

  • Documentation versions: Nightly, 1.2
  • Languages: English, Chinese

Verification

  • pnpm build
  • DOC_LANG=zh pnpm build
  • DOC_LANG=en pnpm check:links
  • DOC_LANG=zh pnpm check:links
  • git diff --check

Checklist

  • I verified the content against the applicable GreptimeDB version.
  • I updated the relevant documentation versions and languages, or explained why not.
  • I checked changed links and anchors.
  • I updated navigation when the document structure changed.

Pull request overview

Documents the Datanode Kafka Remote WAL create_index option across the intended documentation scopes (Nightly + v1.2, English + Chinese) to reflect the v1.2 default and explain when/why operators might enable it during recovery.

Changes:

  • Added create_index = false to the Kafka WAL Datanode configuration examples (Nightly + v1.2, EN + ZH).
  • Added a new option-table entry documenting the create_index default (false), distributed-mode-only behavior, and recovery/replay guidance.
