### `background_updates`

Background updates are database updates that are run in the background in batches.
The duration, minimum batch size, default batch size, whether to sleep between batches and if so, how long to
sleep can all be configured. This is helpful to speed up or slow down the updates.
This setting has the following sub-options:
* `background_update_duration_ms`: How long in milliseconds to run a batch of background updates for. Defaults to 100.
   Set a different time to change the default.
* `sleep_enabled`: Whether to sleep between updates. Defaults to true. Set to false to change the default.
* `sleep_duration_ms`: If sleeping between updates, how long in milliseconds to sleep for. Defaults to 1000.
   Set a duration to change the default.
* `min_batch_size`: Minimum size a batch of background updates can be. Must be greater than 0. Defaults to 1.
   Set a size to change the default.
* `default_batch_size`: The batch size to use for the first iteration of a new background update. The default is 100.
   Set a size to change the default.

Example configuration:
```yaml
background_updates:
    background_update_duration_ms: 500
    sleep_enabled: false
    sleep_duration_ms: 300
    min_batch_size: 10
    default_batch_size: 50
```
