Hi there guys, I am currently using sphinx 9.8.1. The following is from sphinx 9.8.1 document:
" The basic command syntax is as follows: indexer --merge DSTINDEX SRCINDEX [--rotate] Only the DSTINDEX index will be affected: the contents of SRCINDEX will be merged into it. --rotate switch will be required if DSTINDEX is already being served by searchd. The initially devised usage pattern is to merge a smaller update from SRCINDEX into DSTINDEX. Thus, when merging the attributes, values from SRCINDEX will win if duplicate document IDs are encountered. Note, however, that the "old" keywords will not be automatically removed in such cases. For example, if there's a keyword "old" associated with document 123 in DSTINDEX, and a keyword "new" associated with it in SRCINDEX, document 123 will be found by both keywords after the merge. You can supply an explicit condition to remove documents from DSTINDEX to mitigate that; the relevant switch is --merge-dst-range: indexer --merge main delta --merge-dst-range deleted 0 0 This switch lets you apply filters to the destination index along with merging. There can be several filters; all of their conditions must be met in order to include the document in the resulting mergid index. In the example above, the filter passes only those records where 'deleted' is 0, eliminating all records that were flagged as deleted (for instance, using UpdateAttributes() call). " It seems that I need to use "UpdateAttributs()" call to update full index before merging. My question here is how to call "UpdateAttributes ()" to update the full index to mark the records in the delta index as deleted? By the way, I am using a view which contains a "update_at" column, which is used as the timestamp to catch data in delta index. Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks.
