Hey all,
I''m distributing requests to a small farm of Ferret servers across the
network using DRb. In a specific part of my program, I''m trying to
find an entry across servers, and for that, I''m using
index[''example_doc_id''].load
as the return value of the function in question. This returns a
Ferret::Index::LazyDoc, which is all fine and dandy, except that for
some reason DRb doesn''t like it and won''t return the
"hash" to the
remote client.
I tried using index[''example_doc_id''].load.to_a, and the array
gets
returned just fine. For the record, yes, I''ve tried
index[''example_doc_id''].load.to_hash, but what you get from
that is
again a Ferret::Index::LazyDoc, and not a Hash.
I suppose I could manually copy the elements from LazyDoc to a new
Hash, but that''s hacky. Before I resort to it, does anyone have any
ideas?
Thanks in advance.
