Odoo introduced a new param `checksum` to the method `_index` on the
attachment model [1]. Since that param is not supported on this model,
the following error is now being raised:
TypeError: _index() got an unexpected keyword argument 'checksum'

This module is intended to disable the indexation of data on the
ir.attachment model.
Attachment model has a field called 'index_content' where the content
of the attachment is read and stored directly in the database. This field is
useful in order to search content of a file. But most of cases it is not used,
so, you can install this module in order to:
- **Avoid Duplicating Data:** Because indexation extracts text content
from files and put it on the database in order it could be searched, but
this implies you have the file data in your `filestore` directory, and
also part (or sometimes all) of that data in your database too.
- **Improve Performance:** Since not all indexed files are plain text, they
require extra process to read them.
Maybe you could try to uninstall modules like `document` in order to
disable its indexation features, but you could face the uninstallation of other
modules that could be useful for you (e.g, `hr_recruitment` depends on that).
But even if you don't have `document` installed, you'd still have
plain text content indexation by default.
Using this module you will not require to uninstall any module to
disable the attachment content indexation, because we directly disable it at
`ir.attachment` base.
