Hello--
I represent a consortium of laboratories all running separate
web servers that serve differing research projects.
Since we are an academic institution we maintain a large degree of
autonomy so we have a mixture of Solaris SPARC and Linux x86 variants
around the different laboratory locations.
Recently we started using htdig to index all of these sites and have
even been able to index many weird formats such as doc, ps, ppt,
etc...
Since the overhead of each web server indexing each of the remaining
sites is so high we decided that one of the machines would index all
the others and would then distribute out the databases to the other
machines.
Between the SPARC Solaris machines this works beautifully. However
when trying to put the same databases on v3.1.5 Linux x86 (Debian in
this case) we end up with very odd results and database errors. (all
gcc 2.9.x compiled and linked internally with the 2.6.4 Sleepycat DB)
I realize that v3.2.0b1-3 offer the htdb_dump/load, however we cannot
get 3.2.0b1-3 to operate correctly on any of the machines (SPARC or
Linux) therefore that is not an option at this juncture.
I've tried simply using the db_load/dump that comes with the
respective db package inside of the htdig 3.1.5 source tree and while
I am able to dump/load successfully htmerge gives the same errors as
if the database had been simply copied from one of the SPARC machines
w/o dumping the output to ASCII.
I was wondering if you could offer any guidance on how to successfully
export these databases between SPARC, and Linux (little/big ENDIAN).
Alternatively we are aware of having one machine as the search host
and simply referencing the htsearch via URL from different machines,
however due to our high level of autonomy and differing quality of
internet service this is not an option and must have at least one live
database at each site.
Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
