I was wondering if someone could be so kind to give me some architectural guidance.
A little about our setup. We are RoR shop that is currently using Ferret (no laughs please) as our search technology. Our indexing process at the moment is quite poor as well as our search results. After some deliberation we have decided to switch to Solr to satisfy our search requirements. We have about 5M records ranging in size all coming from a DB source (only 2 tables). What will be the most efficient way of indexing all of these documents? I am looking at DIH but before I go down that road I wanted to get some guidance. Are there any pitfalls I should be aware of before I start? Anything I can do now that will help me down the road? I have also been exploring the Sunspot rails plugin (http://outoftime.github.com/sunspot/) which so far seems amazing. There is an easy way to reindex all of your models like Model.reindex but I doubt this is the most efficient. Has anyone had any experience using Sunspot with their rails environment and if so should I bother with the DIH? Please let me know of any suggestions/opinions you may have. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Architectural-help-tp27844268p27844268.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
