Is there a fast way to determine how many documents a term occurs in, besides iterating through every document with TermDocEnum? -- Best regards, Stian Gryt?yr

...dapted my ferret_killer1.rb script to reproduce the segfaults I''m still having in my app with Ferret 0.11.3. ferret_killer1 didn''t reproduce these - I had to add code to retrieve the documents from the index after searching (and fixed the index creation bug Dave spotted). http://johnleach.co.uk/downloads/ruby/ferret/ferret_killer3.rb To use, in one terminal run: ./ferret_killer3.rb index In another terminal: ./ferret_killer3.rb search the search process will segfault after a couple of searches or so: ferret_killer3.rb:64: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i486-lin...

...tes (not to mention slowing development of a current app) so I applied the fix to the released 0.11.4 source and repackaged it as 0.11.4.1. Obviously this isn''t in any way official, but it works for me and I''m sharing here for anyone else affected. Gem, tgz and zip here: http://johnleach.co.uk/downloads/ruby/ferret/ferret-0.11.4.1/ and just the patch (derived from Dave''s changeset to trunk) here: http://johnleach.co.uk/downloads/ruby/ferret/ferret-0.11.4-fix-multiterm-segfault.patch The patch is against the release source, as the subversion repository seems to be down a...

Hey guys, I''ve just removed the -fno-stack-protector flag from the release so those who had trouble because of this should now be able to install 0.11.2-rc3. If you have any problems with this release, please let me ASAP. Cheers, Dave -- Dave Balmain http://www.davebalmain.com/

...for a workaround? I currently add answers to questions like this: @question.answers << @answer. Should I just implement an push_unique_answer method to the questions model and check for existing links there first? Or override the @question.answers method?

Hi folks, Just thought I better let you all know that I''m still working on the next release of Ferret. I''ve been working the last 7 days doing nothing but Ferret development. The last iteration generated a diff of almost 5000 lines so there are some pretty major changes. Most people won''t notice these changes however as the API remains unchanged. But if you were having

Greetings, I''ve been using ferret with great results now for a while, but in the last week, I''ve been running into some issues. I will occasionally see this message: Exception Message: Lock Error occured at <except.c>:103 in xpop_context Error occured in index.c:5368 - iw_open Couldn''t obtain write lock when opening IndexWriter Which is accompanied by

tagtools and acts_as_taggable are both folksonomy tools for rails,any one who has used them both and can give a compare between them? Grateful! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello, I upgraded to ferret 0.10.10 and I noticed a strange behaviour with queries. Now the queries return strange results. For example, the two following queries return the same results: familynames|firstnames:andre familynames|firstnames:andr Another example, the first query returns a correct result + incoherent results, the second query returns only the correct result:

...while on the second location we have a Centos3 box Natting via iptables the internal 192.168.10.x netowrk. My goal is to connect this 2 over the internet via IPsec. I created the IPsec Net2Net via the network configuration graphic tool, and I configured the cisco following the howto http://www.johnleach.co.uk/documents/freeswan-pix/freeswan-pix.html . From my understanding, I should have an ipsec0 network device showing up, so that I could route all traffic from 192.168.10.x directed to 192.168.100.x through it. The thing is that when I try to ifup ipsec0 I get the following errors: modprobe...

Hi, I''m using ferret and running into troubles with it seg faulting during searches. The index I''m searching is static and is only updated in an offline way once every couple weeks. The segfault isn''t deterministically reproducible, but if I hammer ferret hard enough I can reliably get it to crash. The problem seems to have something to do with how memory is shared

Hi list, We just built our own ferret drb server (mostly because we don''t do an indexing from within rails). The ferret drb server only handles index inserts and some deletes. Usually we make batch inserts were we retrieve a couple of hundred or thousands of documents from a database and then inserts them inte ferret one by one. We call flush every 50th file. We are very impressed

Hi all, there was a recent thread[1] on rails-deploy about Ferret in which a lot of people complained of problems using it in production. I''ve been using Ferret (with DRb) for many months now with no serious issues. I''m assuming the posters know what they''re doing so I''m guessing they''re just using Ferret in higher-scale environments than me. I

Hi, i''m using capistrano to deploy the application, but every time i deploy it change all the directory, so i lost also the ferret''s indexes. Is it possible to keep them in order to prevent the reindex on each deploy? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, according to the docs, the default precision for the Ferret Time to_s_lex function is :day. Should this not be :second? This is the same on DateTime. (Same on Date too, but that seems ok) http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api/classes/Time.html John. -- http://johnleach.co.uk

I''m hoping for a little insight. We''re using ferret with DRb server and having a hard time getting it to come back up on reboot of the machine. In our RAILS_ROOT directory, we''ve got a script named start_ferret.
