as Jens said, we're doing exactly that .. take a look at the switching here: http://bugs.omdb.org/browser/branches/2007.1/lib/omdb/ferret/lib/util.rb we've also added a "last-switched" status file (0 byte with timestamp), to notify mongrel of a new index. So mongrels are using the old index unless the status file gets a newer timestamp. http://bugs.omdb.org/browser/branches/2007.1/lib/omdb/ferret/searcher.rb Ben _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
