Hi Julian,

re-indexing indeed needs a lot of cpu/disk resources, mainly on the ez publish side (pulling data and assembling the ezp objects)

You could insert usleep() or sleep() in the update script, but then re-indexing may take too long

Hi Paul,

Out of curiosity, would it help to tune Java as explained on http://ez.no/doc/extensions/ez_find/2_1/basic_configuration/solr_backend ?

And what about updating a staging area with production files and database, running the re-index on staging, and then move the solr index file over to production?

Thanks Robin

Hi Robin

Tuning helps yes, and also using a staging index helps (you can simply copy over the index files). For more intensive sites with lots of search traffic, a master slave config for Solr may be an even better alternative.

But again, even when re-indexing with a tuned eZ Find/Solr, its still the eZ Publish side that is slow

@Paul, thanks for elaborating on this.

@Julian, hopefully this shows you some directions in improving the performance of re-indexing your site.
