I blogged about some of the problems with aaf in production (http://www.jroller.com/BrightCandle) yesterday but inspired by the poitive response I thought I would share the perceived problems and discuss some of the potential solutions to help newcomers and make aaf work as if by magic just like Rails does. All of these problems boil down to one simple problem, running acts as ferret in a

We''re running Ferret and acts_as_ferret in our production environment. We have multiple mongrels talking to a single index on a separate (virtual) server over DRb. This is working ok for now, as our index updates are fairly infrequent. I''m concerned with the lack of rendundancy/scalability in this layout. Our index won''t get too big - maybe 100k indexed objects, each no

...ure ruby version of that analyzer. The C version of the Analyzer is consuming memory on every analyzing request. You can find an example script to verify the leak[1]. Furthermore we''ve added a workaround, building a PerFieldAnalyzer in pure ruby[2]. You can read more about the leak on the omdb tech blog[3].

Is it possible to have one main ''index'', perhaps on a shared network drive, and have lots of instances of rails accessing it (though obviously with one db)? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi folks! Does anyone have any example code for using a DRb Ferret server? No AAF. Dave - is yours ready? I know Jens has one, but I was hoping for something more stand-alone. I assume Jens has a lot of other code in there. Schnitz -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

My model has data,user_id.So within the data column i have to serach for a word if it exists for a given user.

Hi, we still have the problem in that the Ferret Drb server dies on us sometimes. Looking through ferret_server.out and we come accross this: deadlock 0xb7261cb0: sleep:F(1012) - /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:566 deadlock 0xb71d8654: sleep:F(409) - /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:566 deadlock 0xb723f3e0: sleep:F(7) - /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:566 deadlock 0xb72607c0: sleep:F(11) -

Hello, I want to make a TAG CLOUD using ferret. How can i do so ? I would need to know the amount of keyword for every each words in the index. Thank you -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I have indexed a huge amount of data with text from several european languages. In the index are values like Georg Friedrich H?ndel. I would like a search phrase like "Georg Friedrich Handel" to find records with the real spelling of H?ndel but it doesn''t seem to work. Can anyone give me an idea of what I need to do to make this happen. A bit lost here and

In my environment.rb I say the following: MyModel.disable_ferret puts MyModel.ferret_enabled? The console works as expected: script/console false >> MyModel.ferret_enabled? => false I can then edit an instance, ferret remains disabled and the changes are not immediately indexed. However, when I start mongrel Ferret is initially disabled, but then somehow becomes enabled again

Hi all :-) I''m experiencing strange document loss with Ferret 0.11.4 / Ruby 1.8.4. The index handles around 3000 documents, and sometimes during a query_update operation, the delete is done but not the add. That''s very random and happens after a lot of queries (many K). I''ve tried to look into Ferret''s C code, everything looks like going well, the add *LOOKS

Hi there, I can''t seem to find a way to create a new ticket.

Hello, I am not able to run this command given in the tutorial http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/ *Inside your Rails project* Please use script/plugin install svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/tags/stable/acts_as_ferret gem is installed. i have added the desired line in environment.rb as well but while running this particular command of svn://.. nothing actually

I''ve been running some multithreaded tests on Ferret. Using a single Ferret::Index::Index inside a DRb server, it definitely behaves for me as if all readers are locked out of the index when writing is going on in that index, not just optimization -- at least when segment merging happens, which is when the writes take the longest and you can therefore least afford to lock out all reads.

Hi, I''m trying to get parallelized ferret indexing working for my AAF indices, based on the example in the O''Reilly Ferret shortcut. However, the resulting indices after merging seem to have no actual documents. I went and made minimal changes to the example in the Ferret shortcut pdf, and indeed can''t get that to work either. I''d appreciate any help

Is Ferret''s SVN repository down? I''m trying to get the source from svn://davebalmain.com/ferret, but I keep getting "Connection Refused" errors. Did the URL change, or is Ferret''s repository really down? -- Bira http://compexplicita.wordpress.com http://compexplicita.tumblr.com

Hi, i like to index most of my model fields, but limit the search only to a (changing) subset of this fields. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

hello, I am actually indexing thousands of 1ko text documents using ferret and acts_as_ferret, and i face performance problems. I takes me hours to index 20 000 1ko text documents. Methology used : I create and object, fulfill it with the text, and save it. So it is automaticly indexed. Is there a way to make it faster ? ( remove the auto optimize option somewhere ?) Thank you if you have any

Got it all running nicely now for a few days but noticed something funny. I have a table were lots of records get added, deleted every day. I can see the added records being added by AAF to the index but I notices some "ghost" results when doing searches. The search returns record ID-s that do not exist anymore because they were deleted. Does AAF also remove entries from the index when
