Documented in rebuildIndex

#' Rebuild the index
#'
#' Rebuild the index (or indices), typically after restarting the R session.
#' This is because the indices are held in external memory and are not serialized correctly by R.
#'
#' @param trained List containing the output of \code{\link{trainSingleR}},
#' possibly after some operations that invalidate the indices.
#' @param num.threads Integer specifying the number of threads to use for training.
#'
#' @return \code{trained} is returned with valid indices.
#' If it already had valid indices, this function is a no-op.
