I have a large index (~6GB, ~1 million docs) that was built by RDig.
I wrote a script to iterate through the index to clear out some
duplicate information to try to reduce the size of the index.
clients.each {|client|
docs = RDig.searcher.search("+supplier_id:#{client.id}")
docs.each {|doc|
data = doc[:data].dup #the contents of the web page
new_results = {}
new_results[:client_id] = client.id
new_results[:data] = data
index.delete doc[:doc_id]
index << new_results
}
}
I’ve run a similar script before with no issues. However today I
received the following error after 30 minutes or so:
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/ferret/index.rb:726:in `initialize’: IO
Error occured at <except.c>:93 in xraise (IOError)
Error occured in index.c:901 - sis_find_segments_file

Despite the error the index appear to not be corrupted, so I ran the
script again for fun. The following error occurred after
approximately 20 minutes:

Here’s my platform: Linux xenU #1 SMP Thu Nov 30 13:48:50 SAST 2006
i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
I’m using ruby 1.8.4 and Ferret 0.11.4, which has been hacked to add
in better large file support.
Does anyone have any idea what’s going on? Many thanks in advance.
