Hi, I have been using external file field (eff) for holding rank of the document which gets updated every day based on different stats collected by the system. Once the rank is computed the new files are pushed to Master which will eventually replicate to slaves on next commit.
Our eff file has around 1.6M lines a simple key value pare. Its roughly about 16MB. Its been observed that loading this file at first takes around 192 sec. I agree this can be done at the start of the server and should not impact the performance while serving traffic. (We have 10 such fields, file per zone). Now documents are pushed to Master every 2 hrs in batches. Eff is just pushed once a day. As we apply commit every 2hrs, On slaves when new reader is opened after replication it takes a long time to warmup because it has to load the eff file again. Curious to know if the file has not changed and resides outside index, is there a way in solar to check if the eff file is actually modified before trying to reload it? Any other suggestions? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/External-File-field-Reload-option-tp4101929.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
