Hi,

I think we're just doing it wrong. The problem is that with authorities there's a single SQL query that fetches a record set that includes the marcxml records. Do that for 600 000 records and it use quite a bit of memory. For biblios the record set only contains biblionumbers, and the actual metadata is fetched one-by-one. That's better but still not great.

What we should be doing is fetch n records (e.g. with n=1000) at a time, ordered by id. Then each round fetch the next set starting from id > [last fetched id]. This is basicly what I did in bug 27584 to improve the OAI-PMH provider performance.

I've created bug 28268 about this. I'll post a patch that you could try soon.

Best,
Ere

Hi Alvaro

Thank you for responding! I did try lowering the batch commit but it
doesn't appear to even get to the part where it starts processing
records. I think it gets stuck on fetching the records.

     Hi all,

     We have a site with around 600,000 authority records and have enabled
     elasticsearch. Reindexing and searching has worked easily for biblios
     (there are just over 10,000 biblios) but fails for authorities.

     $ sudo koha-elasticsearch --rebuild -d -a -v <instance>
     [19024] Checking state of authorities index
     [19024] Dropping and recreating authorities index
     [19024] Indexing authorities

     And then it just hangs there for ages until the server runs out of
     memory and dies.

     We're running ES 6.x on Koha 20.05.x.

     I tried running the script directly and specifying an authid and that
     worked as expected.

     $ perl /usr/share/koha/bin/search_tools/rebuild_elasticsearch.pl
     <http://rebuild_elasticsearch.pl> -a -d
     -v -ai 2135575
     [17684] Checking state of authorities index
     [17684] Dropping and recreating authorities index
     [17684] Indexing authorities
     [17684] Committing final records...
     [17684] Total 1 records indexed

     It feels like this is happening because we have too many authority
     records. Is there a way to fix this? Has anyone come across this
     before?

     Thanks!
