Quickwit was compiled without the `sqs` feature

Error message

Quickwit was compiled without the `sqs` feature

What it means

The file source was configured with SQS queue notifications, but the Quickwit binary was built without the `sqs` cargo feature, so the SQS queue-coordinator code is not compiled in. `typed_create_source` bails instead of silently creating a non-functional source.

Solutions

1. Rebuild Quickwit with the `sqs` feature enabled (it is on by default in the standard build): `cargo build --features sqs` or use the official release binary/image.
2. Alternatively, change the source to a non-SQS notification type or push mode.

Example fix

// before (source config with sqs notifications on a no-sqs build)
notifications:
  type: sqs
  queue_url: https://sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/123/my-queue
// after: build with the feature
cargo build --release --features sqs

// before deploying, check the binary supports sqs
quickwit version && cargo tree -p quickwit-indexing -e features | grep -q sqs || echo 'sqs feature missing'

When it happens

Trigger: Creating/starting a file source whose `FileSourceParams::Notifications` is `FileSourceNotification::Sqs(_)` on a binary compiled with `#[cfg(not(feature = "sqs"))]`.

Common situations: Running an official Docker image or a custom build that omits the `sqs` feature while an index config points at an S3-backed file source with SQS notifications.
