ICMR + HITEK Full DB (Mixed) — Prebuilt Indexes + One-Click Setup
Prebuilt sorted indexes for the Kzr0xx/Icmr-and-hitek dataset (2.5B rows, 11 columns, ~104 GB raw parquet).
Building these indexes took ~17 hours of compute. This repo saves you that work: download + run = API live in ~1-2 hours (download speed dependent).
Contents
The indexes are stored as sorted parts (each < 50 GB, split at row-group boundaries, order preserved) because HuggingFace's classic HTTP upload path caps files at 50 GB. The API reads all parts of an index with one glob — zone-map pruning still makes lookups milliseconds-fast.
| Files | Total | What |
|---|---|---|
idx_phone.0.parquet … idx_phone.6.parquet |
~102 GB | Data sorted by phoneNumber → phone lookups ~1s |
idx_aadhar.0.parquet … idx_aadhar.6.parquet |
~100 GB | Data sorted by aadharNumber → aadhar lookups ~2s |

Raw data files (part1.parquet, part2a.parquet, part2b_new.parquet, 104 GB) live in the Icmr-and-hitek repo — the setup scripts download them from there automatically.
One-click restore
Pick your platform, run ONE file. It downloads data + indexes + code, creates a venv, installs deps, starts the API.
Windows: double-click setup.bat
PowerShell: right-click → Run with PowerShell, or powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File setup.ps1
Linux/VPS:
chmod +x setup.sh
./setup.sh
Total download: ~305 GB (104 GB data + ~200 GB index parts). Scripts resume interrupted downloads (curl -C -), so a dropped connection is not a problem — just re-run.
API
Base: http://127.0.0.1:8001 (Linux: 0.0.0.0:8001)
| Endpoint | Use |
|---|---|
GET /search?q=<phone> |
Phone search — ~1s (indexed) |
GET /search?q=<aadhar> |
Aadhar search — ~2s (indexed) |
GET /search?q=<name>&limit=10 |
Name/text search (falls back to raw scan, slower) |
GET /search?q=X&field=district&mode=exact |
Single-field search |
POST /search/parallel |
Batch: up to 50 searches in parallel |
GET /health |
Status incl. which indexes are active |
GET /docs |
Interactive Swagger UI |
All 11 columns searchable: name, fathersName, phoneNumber, aadharNumber, otherNumber, address, district, pincode, state, town, source. Duplicates capped at 2 per person. source = icmr | inddata (hitek data is labelled inddata).
Manual start (if scripts already ran)
# Windows
cd /d "C:\path\to\folder"
start "" .venv\Scripts\python.exe -m uvicorn main:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8001
# Linux
cd /path/to/folder
ICMR_DATA_DIR="$PWD/data" nohup .venv/bin/python -m uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8001 > api.log 2>&1 &
ICMR_DATA_DIR points at the data/ folder; if it is not set, data/ next to main.py is used. main.py auto-detects index parts (idx_phone.*.parquet) — no config needed.
Rebuilding indexes (rarely needed)
ICMR_DATA_DIR="$PWD/data" .venv/bin/python build_index.py
Each index takes 6-11 hours on a typical machine. After building, split_idx.py can split them into upload-sized parts again.
