similar to: Newcomer perceived problems with AAF/Ferret

I am using AAF trunk, and I want a way to rebuild an index on a production site with little or no interruption to service. The Drb Server documentation* states that when an index is rebuilt, it is done in a separate location and then swapped into place when finished, and so to do a complete rebuild on a live site, one must take into consideration objects which have been created or

I''m sure I''m missing something completely obvious here, so I hope someone can point me in the right direction! I''ve implemented a basic search with AAF, which works as expected; I''m running a ferret drb server, and using will_paginate to page results. The code in my search_controller.rb: search_text = params[:query] || " " @products =

Hi all! We use the DRB-Server Backend and are getting strange DRb::DRbConnErrors lately. It started with: too large packet 687865856 (druby:/10.0.0.10:9010) /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:573:in `load'' and later only this one: premature marshal format(can''t read) (druby:/10.0.0.10:9010) /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:580:in `load'' Do you have any ideas what that

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) -

I''ve installed the ferret gem. I installed AAF as a plugin into my vendor/plugins directory of my project. In development environment my searches work just fine, without any problems. For production I configured the ferret_server.yml file with correct information about the machine my DRb server is running on. I start the ferret server with the following command: ruby script/runner

Hi, I have my Model as follows: class Mutation < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret ({:fields => {:description=>{}, :product_id=>{:index => :untokenized}, :product_description=>{}, :product_label_description=>{}, :product_label_free=>{}, :product_product_id_supplier=>{}, :product_description_supplier=>{}, :supplier_description=>{}, :pub_date_sort

Hi, I''ve just read some an article (http://www.jroller.com/BrightCandle/entry/oversights_in_rails_plugins_really.) This article (and the comment,) seem to imply that drb is required if running under a fastcgi kind of deployment. Is this true? Thanks, Chris. ps this is for a different server then my previous question. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello. I''m the author of DataMapper (http://datamapper.org), and am trying to choose what Full-Text-Indexing engine/plugin I want to include by default. I was hoping you guys could help. :-) Sphinx comes highly recommended, but without live index updates, it just doesn''t seem practical for most of my work. I''m most experienced with Solr, but the whole HTTP::Request and

I''ve just upgraded to the latest ferret trunk from an old aaf stable where the script/ferret_start and script/ferret_stop scripts were still in use. now if I call the old script...

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:

Hi- I''m technical lead at Lingr (http://www.lingr.com), a chatroom-based social networking site. We''ve currently got several million user utterances stored in MySQL, and we''re looking to build a local search functionality. I''ve played around with aaf and I really like it, but I have some questions. 1. Is anyone out there using aaf to index a corpus of this

Using the Drb allows me to synchronize writes to the index in a multi mongrel environment. I was under the impression that the remote index would not block if two mongrels were searching the index. Is that the case? This line in ferret_server.rb makes me think otherwise: # Calls are not queued atm, so this will block until the call returned. # def method_missing(name,

I am having a strange problem starting the acts_as_ferret Drb server on a particular Linux machine (Debian Etch). The same setup works fine on my Mac (OSX). Without the Rails application running (yes, I''ve checked several times) I get the following error if I try to start the ferret server and one of my models contains :remote => true for acts_as_ferret: >> script/ferret_start

Hello all, I''m using AAF right now to index my ~3million db records. However, any additions to these records are added to the database through an external script so the aaf activerecord hooks will not catch any updates. Since new records are only added rarely, I figured I could just add the new records manually in ferret from some type of script. I''ve been looking at the

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

I''m having problems getting the DRb server running with the aaf gem. I tried it with the plugin installed in my application, and it worked. I suspect the problem has something to do with the startup scripts expecting certain files to be in certain relative file paths. Any insights are appreciated, and maybe if you have time you can update the wiki document :) Thanks for a great

Hi all, After switching from "regular" AAF to drb based my app is no longer handling nonlatin chars. Any hints? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am new to ferret and am just reading about it in the O''reilly shortcuts as well as other web resources. My app is a Rails app and so I am looking into acts_as_ferret as well. There are some questions for which I couldn''t find answers in the material I have read so far so I''d appreciate any help on these from the list. A bit of a background. My app will have 10,000 -

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.

I have had to fix a few issues with AAF in order to get it working well for myself in a production environment. I''m using the latest "release" version which is 0.4.1: 1) When there is no index in place, every request starts a new rebuild. While there is some code in place to allow this to happen during testing, personally I see no reason to even test for this,
