similar to: chert-update creates a db with some errors

Greets, I've encountered the following while performing test merges (and writing code to handle errors, etc so things can be automated) and wondering about the best way to proceed: xapian-compact -b64k -m src1 src2.... tmp_dst -- works as expected, exit code 0. xapian-check tmp_dst -- produces the following error for the postlist: postlist: baseB blocksize=64K items=28175410

Hi, A Recoll user is reporting an index corruption problem. In general, index corruption happens from time to time with Recoll, because of crashes, reboots, misc Recoll bugs, etc. The strange thing here is that xapian-check does not seem to detect anything. In a nutshell, some document numbers seem to point to a data blackhole: the docids are returned when searching for the file/doc unique

Greetings, Using latest svn. I've noticed the following error when performing index merging: postlist: baseB blocksize=8K items=33962 lastblock=534 revision=1 levels=2 root=459 B-tree checked okay Tag containing meta information is corrupt. postlist table errors found: 1 I can still search on this index (I've only checked very small indexes), but merging is now a problem since I check

Hello, I am trying to rebuild an index of 2+ million documents and have not been successful. I am running Python 2.7 Django 1.7 Haystack 2.1.1 Xapian 1.2.21 The index rebuild command I’m using is: django-admin.py rebuild_index --noinput --batch-size=100000 The rebuild completes but an immediate xapian-check returns this error: xapian-check ./archive_index record: baseB blocksize=8K

We've had some catastrophic filesystem failures that have left us with corrupted databases with empty files and no backup for about 15TB of our data. Recreating the 15TB from source data backups is possible but will take a very very long time. I'm hoping that, given all of the .DB files are still intact, there my be some way to extract their contents and rebuild the other tables. This

Hi, We were running xapian-check on one of our Xapian indexes and it returns the following error: position: baseB blocksize=8K items=809896869 lastblock=2090419 revision=3161 levels=3 root=2084903 Failed to check B-tree: DatabaseError: Items not in sorted order The other tables verify without issue. It looks like our oldest backup of this database (a month old) has the same issue. Searching and

hi, i use xapian to index a txt file, it's size is 268M. i take each line as a document, and each line has two field like 13445511 | 111115151. the recored size is 10000000. the XAPIAN_FLUSH_THRESHOLD set 1000000. it takes 1026544ms to index the file, it is more slower than lucene. The lucene speed is about 40000 records per second. code: try { Xapian::WritableDatabase

Hi all, after upgrading xapian I encountered the same problem as described in ticket #645 Read block errors after reopen() in our setup its 100% reproducible after each reopen(). I downgraded again and it seems the problem occurs in Version 1.2.16 and above. in <=1.2.15 everything works fine without seeing this error once. attaches strace shows read ends on FD. strace starts at reopen()

Hi, I am new to xapian and read somewhere that xapain was using flint before released version 1.1 now it is using chert. I am looking for differences between both flint vs chert respective to xapian and advantages of chert. thanks Smriti

Thanks that helped :). I am still trying to cover add_value some more though since I seem to not understand it totally. I guess it is because I am used to Lucene and Sphinx and Solr and it appears that Xapian seems to attach the type of value stored more on add_value. Like for example I am still a bit confused on how slotno actually works and what it actually is. I think the main thing is

As Chert backend is not the default Xapian backend for the 1.2 branch, I am thinking about switching from Flint to Chert. However, I am wondering how do both compare in performance and index size? My indexes are updated quite frequently, so this is my priority. Which is better in this case? Regards, PK

Dear All, I've tried to build xapian-core 1.4.3 on MSYS2. It fails with attached error (undefined reference to `exp10'). I think it might be missing an explicit link to 'm'. I'm not able to fix this myself as I do not know autotools sufficiently well, but I hope you might be able to help. Cheers, Mario Emmenlauer -- BioDataAnalysis GmbH, Mario Emmenlauer Tel.

Report by Eric Lindblad 30-09-2015 http://www.ericlindblad.blogspot.com The xapian-core-1.2.21 'ambiguous overload' error on the files /backends/brass/brass_check.cc and /backends/chert/chert_check.cc appear to be resultant of a bug reported in gcc-3.3.4, which was fixed for 3.4.2 [Sept. 6, 2004] and 3.5. Bug 16854 - streams missing "long long" specializations on Tru64

Hi, What's the main difference between chert and flint? What above vs lucene? I am mainly asking about data structure (lexicon, posting list, document data), what's in memory, what's on disk, hash vs b-tree and reasons behind them. Any pointer is appreciated. Thanks!
