 Though LightRAG Server uses one workers to process the document indexing pipeline, with aysnc task supporting of Uvicorn, multiple files can be processed in parallell. The bottleneck of document indexing speed mainly lies with the LLM. If your LLM supports high concurrency, you can accelerate document indexing by increasing the concurrency level of the LLM. Below are several environment variables related to concurrent processing, along with their default values:
