It's all in the Sphinx documentation :) http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/manual-2.0.9.html#rt-internals
When the daemon stops, yes, everything gets saved to the index files. If the daemon crashes, the next time it starts it will use the binlog files to ensure the indices are up to date. Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to run ts:generate on a regular basis (but ts:regenerate only needs to be run when you change your index definitions or other Sphinx settings). As for how frequently the updates are written to the file - see if the Sphinx documentation link above helps to clarify that (it's not a clear cut answer). Good to know it's working for you! -- Pat On 16/10/2013, at 11:22 PM, Mauro Nidola <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Pat, > it seems to work now, on monday I did several tests and perhaps I searched on > an empty table. > > Can you confirm that indices are save to file when the sphinx deamon is > stopped? > > Scenario: > > > I execute the command bundle exec rake ts:regenerate and after that the > directory db/sphinx/development is empty (does indices lives to ram?) > I stop the sphinx daemon executing the command bundle exec rake ts:stop and > after that indices are stored to file > What happen if the sphinx process crashes? > > How frequently Are indices saved to file (every X amount of time OR only when > the sphinx process is stopped)? > > It could be useful to include such information in the documentation ;) > > Many thanks, > Mauro > > > On Wednesday, October 16, 2013 10:04:17 AM UTC+2, Pat Allan wrote: > Hi Mauro > > Can you confirm the Sphinx daemon running is the one you expect? > > ps aux | grep searchd > > Although, if it was a different daemon, surely there'd be some errors > somewhere along the way. > > And the paths in the generated development.sphinx.conf file point to > db/sphinx/development, right?
