similar to: acts as ferret, make index in /tmp then copy back to avoid NFS slowness?

i''m indexing a table from some legacy db via a nightly executed script/runner command (LegacyInfobase.rebuild_index). but very often newer documents don''t show up in search results for quite some days. when running it manually from console for diagnosis it mostly stops with this error (but not always): [This was fast-saved 1 times. Some information is lost] IOError: IO Error

Hello I have a couple of questions, Hope someone here can help answer them. I am using acts_as_ferret on a model Item with around 10 million rows. I use Item.rebuild_index at the ruby console to build the index. It seems to run for at least 48 hours when building. My questions are: 1) How do you know when the indexing is over and complete? 2) How can you confirm that ALL records in the table

Hi, I''ve been happily using acts_as_ferret on a Rails site in development mode, but deploying to a production system causes some errors I haven''t been able to resolve. My production deployment setup is Apache/mongrel and I''m sharing the index directory across each deployment version by linking {current_path}/index to {shared_path}/index in the Capistrano setup. Edge

Previously when I used to build index i used to get false in return. >> Event.rebuild_index => false Now I get this. >> Event.rebuild_index => {} Following changes took place. 1) I moved my app from FCGI to mongrel. 2) I moved my app to capistrano. Before moving to capistrano the code was acts_as_ferret :fields => [ "name", "desc_uf" ] Now the code

I need to reset the ferret index between test runs. It seems like there are a few ways to reset the ferret index. * Deleting the index directory -- is this really bad form? * calling rebuild_index * (any others?) What would y''all recommend? (Sorry, I''m from Texas) Preferably, I''d like a way to reset the index that I can integrate into a selenium test. -David

Gents, I successfully installed AAF on my TextDrive OpenSolaris Container, but I''m having some issues with indexing. I have a model called Blogs which has AAF enabled.

Hi, I''m running the edge Typo and the latest acts_as_ferret plugin and ferret gems (as of 11 April).

Sorry to post twice in a row, but I also wanted help with my index rebuild process - I seem to be getting timeouts when I run the rebuild_index.rb script, like this: /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb:120:in `log'': Mysql::Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query: SELECT * FROM search_queries

I''m having an odd problem with Ferret 0.9.5 and acts_as_ferret 0.2.3, on RedHat Linux Enterprise 4. All of my find_by_contents calls return 0 results. When I try Foo.rebuild_index via the console, it returns nil. This is happening on my production machine, during deployment of my app. Everything works perfectly on my development machine (Windows). I have no idea where to start

Hi, My project has been happily using ActiveRecord outside of Rails for some time to populate various databases that are also used in Rails based websites. I''d like to bring AAF into this setup to index new records that are added to the databases as they''re added. Has anyone had any success in installing and using AAF with ActiveRecord but outside the Rails plugin support? I

Hi all, first off, it''s 2AM and I''m not thinking properly, so please forgive me if this one''s easy, but I just need to get this going. First problem, using 0.9.6 on all of our development machines, works great, then we move it to a server running x86_64 linux and it segfaults as soon as it tries to create an Index. I''ve tried rebuilding with different

AFAICT, ferret_server should be able to handle multiple clients writing to it at once, since ferret itself is thread safe. However, it''s not clear whether running concurrent index rebuilds on different would be possible, since they run inside ferret_server. Anyone have experience with this? -ryan
