[AAF] concurrency in ferret-server

Ruby Apps Ferret
1

AFAICT, ferret_server should be able to handle multiple clients
writing to it at once, since ferret itself is thread safe. However,
it’s not clear whether running concurrent index rebuilds on different
would be possible, since they run inside ferret_server. Anyone have
experience with this?

As I wrote in my other mail regarding 0.11.4 problems, rebuild_index is
a problem since it trashes the whole index directory and starts from
scratch.

The fact that rebuild_index uses it’s own Ferret::I instance for doing
this may be part of the problem. I do this to set auto_flush to false
when rebuilding the index.
