for example, when adding an additional country via `nominatim add-data`.
## Forcing recomputation of places and areas
Command: `nominatim refresh --data-object [NWR]<id> --data-area [NWR]<id>`
When running replication updates, Nominatim tries to recompute the search
and address information for all places that are affected by a change. But it
needs to restrict the total number of changes to make sure it can keep up
with the minutely updates. Therefore it will refrain from propagating changes
that affect a lot of objects.
The administrator may force an update of places in the database.
`nominatim refresh --data-object` invalidates a single OSM object.
`nominatim refresh --data-area` invalidates an OSM object and all dependent
objects. That are usually the places that inside its area or around the
center of the object. Both commands expect the OSM object as an argument
of the form OSM type + OSM id. The type must be `N` (node), `W` (way) or
`R` (relation).
After invalidating the object, indexing must be run again. If continuous
update are running in the background, the objects will be recomputed together
with the next round of updates. Otherwise you need to run `nominatim index`
to finish the recomputation.
## Removing large deleted objects
Nominatim refuses to delete very large areas because often these deletions are
