Hey all.
When our company started out with Riak, there were some choices made with
regards to indexing that are now coming back to bite us. Currently,
*everything* in our Riak cluster is being indexed (dynamicField * indexed
as text_general).
We've learnt a lot about Riak and Solr since then, and we're in the process
now of trying to fix this; indexing the fields we need with the correct
data type.
Previously, we had a single search index (called "global") - and everything
was indexed under this. This is now split out into separate indexes
("contacts", "lists", "messages", etc); and I've tried to re-index
everything - but I don't seem to be able to get rid of the old indexes.
There are a few things I've tried; and they don't seem to help:
1. Streaming all keys in all buckets, fetching the object, and then putting
the object.
2. Streaming all keys in all buckets, fetching the object, deleting the
object, and then putting the object back with the same key.
2. Unloading the core in the Solr admin interface (it seems like it gets
re-populated by Riak again).
In summary, this is what I'm struggling to understand:
1. Is it safe to mess with anything within the Solr admin interface (is
there a possibility of corruption from Riak -> Solr, or vice versa)?
2. How do I go about cleaning out old index data, versus simply (what seems
to be) creating *new* index data, without clearing out the old data?
Any help will really be appreciated!
Thanks,
Geoff
