This limitations you're talking about are known and will be fixed in the near future.. the trick is, to have one read-only and one write-only index.. This is currently being worked on. If you need a fix right now, you need to do it yourself but you can take a look on omdb's code and how it's done there: http://bugs.omdb.org/browser/branches/2007.1/lib/omdb/ferret/lib/util.rb (see the switch code) If you don't need a fix right now, i'm sure AAF will come up with a solution for that in the near future (aka probably not this year). on a side note.. for the to many open files error, see: http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api/classes/Ferret/Index/IndexWriter.html (use_compound_file, you may have set this to false) or simply increase the number of open files. On omdb we're running with 32k :-) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ ulimit -n 32768 Cheers Ben _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
