similar to: Locking issues when adding to the Index

Hi everyone, We''re running a fairly heavily used Rails app that uses ferret (and acts_as_ferret) for search. We''re running on mongrel+Apache, Ruby 1.8.4, and ferret 0.10.13. We''re indexing a handful of attributes on our "Image" and "User" models. After the system has been running for several days, the index gradually becomes corrupted, and ferret

Greetings, I''ve been using ferret with great results now for a while, but in the last week, I''ve been running into some issues. I will occasionally see this message: Exception Message: Lock Error occured at <except.c>:103 in xpop_context Error occured in index.c:5368 - iw_open Couldn''t obtain write lock when opening IndexWriter Which is accompanied by

Everything was working fine till last night. This morning I have many errors. I am using acts_as_ferret. Last updated around a month ago on linux. There are two different type of exceptions. I have over 12 exception emails but these are the two distince types. First exception: A EOFError occurred in home#event_info: End-of-File Error occured at <except.c>:79 in xraise Error occured in

Hi, I''m using Rails/AAF with Ferret 0.10.11, and my index occasionally (every few weeks, roughly) becomes corrupted. If the index is busted, until I rebuild it our users are unable to save anything. I get errors like the one below, and the save rolls back. My question is, is there any way to catch the error, and continue with the save even if the model isn''t indexed? What

Dave and all, I run a medium RoR app using Ferret and acts_as_ferret. I get a lot of lock errors. Not always but around 5% of all searches (aspecially during peak periods). Here are the messages I get: A NameError occurred in szukaj#index: uninitialized constant Ferret::Index::Index::LockError [RAILS_ROOT]/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:478:in

Hey Guys. So, I get this error every so often, and in sneaking at the code, it seems that it could be an easy fix, where it''s looking for a LockError, but I think it''s a LockException. I''m on 0.10.13 with a very large index (about a million docs) that''s staged on several servers, which are updated daily. (Using rails 1.1.6) Thanks for all the hard work.

Hello, I''m running Mongrel 0.3.13.3, cluster 0.2.0, and Rails 1.1.6 and I have a problem with a sweeper not having access to the controller instance.

Hello everyone, I am currently struggling with the following issue that only seems to appear in my production environment: When attempting to send a mail from an ActionMailer the template location algorithm does not seem to pick up the corresponding template: ActionView::MissingTemplate (Missing template event_mailer/approval_requested_notification.erb in view path app/views):

I am getting this issue also... Does anyone know what this is? When will Acts as Ferret be available for v10? Thanks for your help in desperation!

Hi, had my local linux box setup and ferret was working like a champ via Webrick. However, when I moved to a different linux box using Apache web server, search no worky..giving the error listed below. The site itself comes up fine. I''ve tried deleting all the dirs under /index and restarted the webserver to see if re-indexing would help, but that made matters worse. Re-indexing

I am seeing trouble with searches for ''you'' not returning anything. It appears that ''you'' is a stop word to the standard analyzer: require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' index = Ferret::I.new(:or_default => false) index << ''you'' puts index.search(''you'') returns

Hi, I''m currently trying to set up a solution involving multiple servers using the same index over nfs. The problem is that from what I have seen, ferret doesn''t support multiple processes writing to the same index. Using a DRb service is not an option since this would create a single point of failure. I tried using Ferret::Store::FSDirectory to create a write lock on the the

Hi, This is a recurring issue for me - the index directory on my production server and everything below it occasionally disappears and isn''t reconstructed. I tried manually creating the entire index path manually before starting the server, but it still happened while the server is running. I don''t know what''s causing the index to disappear and I''m also not

I was just wondering what about a report that I made almost 2 months ago: Active Record observers broken<https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/4087-activerecord-observers-cant-be-used-for-before-callbacks> I think it''s a pretty big bug. In Rails 3, creating an observer with a "before_save" callback (for instance) will result in all observed models being

Hi! I wanted to build my own custom Analyzer like so: class Analyzer < Ferret::Analysis::Analyzer include Ferret::Analysis def initialize(stop_words = ENGLISH_STOP_WORDS) @stop_words = stop_words end def token_stream(field, string) StopFilter.new(LetterTokenizer.new(string, true), @stop_words) end end As one can easily spot, I essentially want

Sorry, that name is a misnomer. However, I was excited to find that Ruby has a built in Observable module and I''m pretty bored, so I apologize in advance.... require ''observer'' # one who is observed class Celebrity include Observable attr_accessor :name attr_reader :is def is=(val) @is = val changed notify_observers(self) end end # one who

Hello there. I get two different errors, after i installed the new ferret-version. I havn''t seen any comments about changing the API, so there should be no problem using acts_as_ferret as i did before: 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

Hey folks, Sorry for cross posting like this but this is an important announcement for all Ferret users. ** Description ** Firstly for those who don''t know, Ferret is a full-text search library which makes adding search to your application a breeze. It''s much faster than MySQL full-text search as well most other search libraries out there. It allows you to do Boolean (+ruby +

Hi All, I''m using acts as ferret and getting a lot of these errors: ---- Error occured in fs_store.c:324 - fs_open_input couldn''t create InStream /var/rails/projectblue/website/public/../config/../index/production/content_page/_347i.fdt: <No such file or directory> ---- and also some of these errors: ---- uninitialized constant Ferret::Index::Index::LockError

Hi, we are using ferret and acts_as_ferret in a single server setup. We have 2 models that use acts_as_ferret.
