Hi Ryan If your data is being updated every five hours (a bulk update?), then you could probably forgo deltas, and just have a regular cron job - or perhaps invoke the indexing task after each data update?
Or are there single-record updates that happen regularly? All that said, the indexing isn't too resource-heavy (indeed, you can customise how much RAM it uses), but it may put a bit of strain on the database - depends how many records are being indexed. Hope this is useful information. -- Pat On 09/07/2009, at 11:20 AM, ryanlonac wrote: > > Hey guys, doing my first run through of sphinx and had a general > question. > > Is it best practice to delta index and then set a cron job to index > every 4-6 hours or just re-index every 2 hours? > > The site it is for gets about 10k hits a month and content is updated > about every 5 hours. > > Probably not a big difference, but was not sure on how either option > would impact the server. > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thinking Sphinx" group.
