text: **15.5.3 Indexing existing data through ODWEK**
  
  The ODWEK Java API contains two new methods that support FTS. The first method is 
  **ODFolder.FTIAddHits()**. This method has a single parameter, which is a Vector of ODHits. 
  The Vector of ODHit objects can be produced by using the**search()**methods of the 
  ODFolder. All hits that are contained in the Vector parameter to**FTIAddHits()**are sent to FTS 
  Exporter for full text indexing. 
  
  The second new method of the ODFolder object is**FTIReleaseHits()**. This method also takes 
  a Vector of ODHit objects as a parameter. This method is used to remove the indexes from 
  the FTS Server. 
  
  Both of these calls produce work items in the arsftiwork table.

  **15.5.4 Running the FTS Exporter**
  
  The FTS Exporter processes the work items in the arsftiwork table. The FTS Exporter begins 
  processing work items, starting with the oldest items. It continues to process these work items 
  until the table is empty. Then, it goes to sleep for a specified amount of time before it wakes 
  up to look for more work items.
