similar to: EOF Error with Unit Tests

In the documentation, it says that optimize "should only be called when the index will no longer be updated very often, but will be read a lot". Does this mean it actually has a detrimental impact on updates and inserts? In my project there will be many more reads than updates, but there will still be a lot of updates. So should I be calling Optimize once a day or something like that,

Hello, I am currently using ferret 0.9.5 and acts_as_ferret 0.2.3 on windows XP All my unit and functions test that used to work before I installed ferret are erroring out. My index is on a model name Post, and it looks like all tests that contains methods which does CRUD to the Post model bombs out. Is there anything special I need to do before running unit and functional test? Thanks

I run a script that imports a few thousand records into the database. The script runs once for each of several XML files. What it does is parse the XML and for each element of a certain type creates a record in a rails database that gets indexed with acts_as_ferret. This worked fine before but today after a few files (70000 records) this started to happen for any file I tried:

Hi All, Hope all is going well. I''m having trouble with the following code creating an in memory index reader - it seems to be attempting to read from a file regardless. Here''s the simple code: require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' a = Ferret::Index::Index.new r = Ferret::Index::IndexReader.new(nil) Running the code on my OS X machine

Hey gang, A post on the Rails forum a while back had it sound like you pretty much had to use the Index Readers & Writers if you were going to be potentially accessing an index from more than one process. (i.e. multiple dispatch.fcgi''s, etc) Is this still the case, or does the main Index class do that black magic behind the scenes? =) I was having trouble implementing the

Hi, I''m building a web server application using Ferret [thanks so much Dave], Mongrel and Camping which works fine servicing one request at a time, but serialises searches if more than one request arrives, so I''d like some advice please about the best way to use multiple readers and one writer. Some background ... query requests which in my case are always read only, arrive via

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! First, thanks a LOT for ferret. The API and documentation is great. I''m trying to integrate ferret into a RoR app (DamageControl) and have run into a problem with locks. DamageControl consists of two processes that start up and run in parallel. The first one is the webapp (which is just a plain RoR app). The second is a daemon process that runs in the background. The daemon process

Hi David, > Deleted documents don''t get deleted until commit is called Ok, but FYI, my experiments show that #commit doesn''t affect #doc_count, even across ruby sessions. On a different note, I''d like to request a variation of #add_document which returns the doc_id of the document added, as opposed to self. I''m trying to track down an issue with a large

Can acts_as_ferret search only one of the inherit models in the hierarchy of STI models? Say you have Contents, with types articles and comments. I know that you do Contents.find_by_contents, but can you also create indexed for Comment and Articles? Thanks for you help Miguel -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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, I''m trying to get parallelized ferret indexing working for my AAF indices, based on the example in the O''Reilly Ferret shortcut. However, the resulting indices after merging seem to have no actual documents. I went and made minimal changes to the example in the Ferret shortcut pdf, and indeed can''t get that to work either. I''d appreciate any help

I implemented a "reindex" command which simply creates an IndexWriter with :create => true for a prexisting index. The "reindexing" seems to start out ok, with several thousand docs added, then Ferret throws an exception: IO Error occured: couldn''t rename file "index\_0.tmp" to "index\_0.cfs": <File exists> I guess that _0.cfs is held

I am indexing over 10,000 rows of data, it is very slow when it is indexing the 100,1000,10000 row, and now it is over 1 hour passed on the row 10,000. how to make it faster? here is my code: ================== doc = Document.new doc << Field.new("id", t.id, Field::Store::YES, Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED) doc << Field.new("title", t.title,

I''m playing with "updating" docs in my index, and I think I''ve found bug with IndexWriter counting deleted docs. Script and output follow: ===== require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' p Ferret::VERSION @doc = {:id => ''44'', :name => ''fred'', :email => ''abc at

We have a service that clients use to upload files. We have a couple of clients that are on slow links and so their upload times out. We get errors in the logs that I''d like to get rid of. I was hoping that the recent commit 24b9f66dcdda44378b4053645333ce9ce336b413 would help us, but it does not. After digging in a bit, I have some ideas about why and a patch I''d like comments

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 This week I have worked with Rails and Ferret to test Ferrets (and Lucenes) capabilities. I decided to make a mixin for ActiveRecord as it seemed the simplest possible solution and I ended up making this into a plugin. For more info on Ferret see: http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/ The plugin is functional but could easily be refined. Anyway I want to share it with you. Regard it as a
