Hi,

As long as I can search on the current ("older") index while importing, I'm 
good.  I've tested this and I can search the older index while data-importing 
the newer index.

So you can search the older index in your 5 hour wait?

Thanks,

Tri

Subject: Re: searching while importing

If you are using the DataImportHandler, you will not be able to search new data 
until the full-import or delta-import is complete and the update is committed.  
When I do a full reindex, it takes about 5 hours, and until it is finished, I 
cannot search it.

I have not tried to issue a manual commit in the middle of an import to see 
whether that makes data inserted up to that point searchable, but I would not 
expect that to work.

If you need this kind of functionality, you may need to change your build 
system 
so that a full import clears the index manually and then does a series of 
delta-import batches.
