[Artifactory-users] Can you trigger yum metadata calculation on a specific path in a repo?

We were attempting to utilize the Artifactory API in conjunction with our builds to execute a synchronous operation<https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/RTF/Artifactory+REST+API#ArtifactoryRESTAPI-CalculateYUMRepositoryMetadata> to generate the YUM metadata.

However, we discovered that it indeed recalculates everything, as the documentation stated.  This was too long of an operation as the repo grew larger to use in our build environment, so we went back toward using a createrepo statement locally first, then uploading that.

Generating the yum metadata like this is very much sub-optimal for a number of reasons related to our build.  Is there any way to trigger a yum metadata calculation for a specific path in an Artifactory YUM repo?

Thanks!
