similar to: AAF quirks in production mode

Hi! Aaf trunk has undergone several major refactorings the last days, with the result that you can now transparently switch your app from local to remote indexing and back :-) If you plan to scale your app to more than one physical machine, or if you have problems with corrupted indexes and the like under high load, you really should give this a try. I wrote some documentation to get you

hello list! i''m still having massive problems with index rebuilds. after i recently switched to the DRb mode i was hoping to get rid of the problems with locked files and such. but even with DRb and the latest stable version of acts_as_ferret my index rebuilds are failing C:\Informer>ruby script/console production Loading production environment. >> LegacyInfobase.rebuild_index

Hi, i''ve a project in wich i have 2 different rails apps accessing the same DB. The backoffice, as usual, changes data. The frontoffice has a search capabilities with acts_as_ferret (paginated) for search. Maybe this is a newbie question but, when i delete index and restart front app all the articles are indexed, but the new one''s (via backoffice) are not searchable. Does

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

I''m having problems sorting on untokenized fields. I have one field that sorts fine, but there are others that seem to sort on a different field. Here''s the index description: acts_as_ferret :remote=>true,:fields=>{:name=>{:boost=>2},:name_for_sort=>{:index => :untokenized}, :city=>{:boost=>2}, :city_for_sort=>{:index=>:untokenized},

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

I have a site with two indexes. Index A is created offline by RDig and queried from the web via RDig (specifically, RDig.searcher.search). Index B is managed by AAF with :remote => true. Simple enough. However, I need to query both indexes from RDig. Usually this is ok, as I modified RDig to accept an array of search_paths with an element for index A and index B. However, when Index

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/.

I need a way to kill the ferret_server drb process programatically, so I can start/stop it as part of the capistrano deployment process. This should be as simple as adding some sort of stop method to ActsAsFerret::Remote::Server. I was just messing around and was able to do it by modifying method_missing to look for the :stop method and then calling DRb.thread.exit -- this is not good enough for

Hi I use Ferret 0.11.4 and the latest stabel version of the acts_as_ferret plugin. To the issue. if I do Model.rebuild_index and after that try to update one of my objects of that Model I get: File Not Found Error occured at <except.c>:117 in xpop_context Error occured in fs_store.c:329 - fs_open_input tried to open

I''m wondering if someone can point me in a direction to monitor the ferret drb server while using cacti. Is it possible to run multiple instances of ferret drb on the same machine, just on different ports? Will it still update the index properly, or will you get collision? New to moving over to the drb server. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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! after wondering why i can''t find alot of records i eventually found the problem in the sqlserver_adapters implementation of "add_limit_offset!". the problem is when using MSSQL with the sqlserver_adapter paging will only work when at least one column is defined in ":order". for example i was indexing a table with 2912 records, the generated sql for the batches

Hello, First the specs: ruby 1.8.6, rails 1.2.3, ferret 0.11.4, mongrel 1.0.1, mongrel_cluster 0.2.1 And the model''s aaf config: # Ferret search engine acts_as_ferret({:fields => {:name => {:boost => 10}, :summary => {:boost => 2}, :body => {:boost => 1, :store => :no},

Hi, I''m using acts_as_ferret in my rails application and I''d like to use more_like_this to retrieve some ''similar'' item suggestions. I have a class ''items'' which has a status field and I need to retrieve items that only have one of the two possible statuses. Looking at the more_like_this method indicates it supports an :append_to_query

Hello, I have been trying to set up the remote indexing for acts_as_ferret and followed the guide here: http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/DrbServer I added :remote => true to my models and then specified host and port for the production environment. After defining the host/port for production, I tried to run my development server and received the following error:

Hi folks! Just wanted to let you know that I released aaf 0.4.0 on last weekend. Besides the DRb server it also includes a new lazy loading feature that lets you do ferret searches without actually loading any records from the DB. Useful e.g. for live searches: model: class MyModel acts_as_ferret :fields => { :title => { :store => :yes }, :content => {} } end controller:

I have seen several threads here and elsewhere about ferret and/or aaf causing seemingly random segfaults in mongrel. However, I didn''t see in any of these threads if a resolution was ever offered. I am currently experiencing this problem and I am keen to get a solution. I appreciate any update that anyone can give me. Best Regards, Danny -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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,

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/.
