similar to: Using acts_as_ferret outside rails

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:

I''d like to be able to enable/disable the automatic indexing of documents acts_as_ferret does. Something like MyModel.disable_indexing MyModel.enable_indexing would be perfect. I need this because I do some indexing that requires visiting the parents of the model objects and my import method imports the children first, so the information isn''t there yet. I''d like to

I''m using acts_as_ferret to index one of my rails models. Right after I start the app the first request that orders by some ferret field will take very long. Subsequent ones seem to be fast. I guess some caching is going on. Any tips on solving this? Pedro.

Disclaimer: ferret newbie here, don''t blame too hard. Hi, I''m trying to apply acts_as_ferret to apply search to my Person model: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :name, :surname acts_as_ferret :fields => [ ''name'', ''surname'' ] ... But when I try to save a new Person instance I get this error:

acts_as_ferret does not handle transaction aborts properly. If a model is modified but something latter causes the transaction it was wrapped in to abort, the ferret index will not revert to the original record data. I have included a klunky patch to defer modifying the ferret index until after the current transaction commits. It would seem prudent to resolve this issue, though I

Hi, this is hopefully an easy one, but I''ve gone through the api and searched past forum entries, and am drawing a blank. I have a model that with acts_as_ferret mixed in to it, which is working fine. But I want users to be able to set a ''private'' attribute on the model, and when it''s set to true, create and update methods would skip indexing. So, how can I

We''ve been running into problems with ferret indexing lately. The problem is intermittent and some times it persists. Just got this after wiping the index and redeploying: NoMethodError (undefined method `add'' for Solution:Class): (druby://10.1.65.87:9009) /data/releases/20071111152414/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb:1238:in `method_missing''

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

Hi, I saw someone else have this earlier. The recommendation is still to downgrade to 0.11.3?

Unfortunately I''m a newbie to ruby, rails, and acts_as_ferret. Also, I''m working in code I mostly didn''t write, so I''m kind of unsure of things. So this may be a dumb question. It also may be the same issue as the topic ''Duplicate search results'', but I''m not sure. When I update column values with

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

Hi folks, I just released version 0.4.1 fixing several bugs and bringing the DRb server''s index versioning feature to the stable branch. Please see [1] for more changes.

Hi, I''m having trouble with ferret and AAF blowing up with a NoMemoryError. Sometimes when I add documents inside my rails app. Ferret starts consuming huge amounts of memory. I''m on a machine with 2GB of memory and it still runs out of memory. Sometimes I''m able to run MyObject.rebuild_index and the memory doesn''t move up at all. However, sometimes it

I''m having some problems with getting the drb server to work correctly on my production server. As a workaround I tried disabling automatic indexing and have a cron job manually update the index every hour or so. I disabled the automatic indexing with: def ferret_enabled? false end But whenever I try Page.rebuild_index I get a ''wrong number of arguments''
