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 index directory with code somewhat like this one:
[...]
dir = Ferret::Store::FSDirectory.new(INDEX_PATH)
write_lock = dir.make_lock("lock")
write_lock.obtain
index << {:id => id, :type => 'create_test_type'}\
index.flush
write_lock.release
[...]
but it makes the processes freezes or raise a
Ferret::Store::Lock::LockError in my different attempts.
I tried to play with IndexWriter options like max_merge_docs,
merge_factor... but without success. Maybe there is a way to merge all
the Compound files every couple of writes instead of doing it on the
fly.
Is there a way to achieve my goal?
Dave please tell me you have an idea:-P
Thanks
Seb
