Setup wizard installation
SkyVault Community Edition uses the Solr 1 search subsystem only during the upgrade process. When upgrading to using the setup wizards, you should install both the Solr 1 and Solr 4 search subsystems. If you wish to minimize the necessary downtime of the search subsystem while the Solr 4 indexes are being build, you must run Solr 1. Once the Solr 4 indexes are up to date, you must enable the Solr 4 subsystem and disable the Solr 1 subsystem.
Solr 4 suggester configuration
- With new SkyVault Community Edition 5.2 installations, the suggester is enabled for the workspace store, by default.
- If you are upgrading to SkyVault Community Edition
5.2 with Solr 4, before
building the new index, we recommend that you disable the suggester property in the
<solrRootDir>/workspace-SpacesStore/conf/solrcore.properties
file:
solr.suggester.enabled=false
This is because on a low specification system, building the suggester can cause CPU and IO load issues, which can affect other operations. When the Solr 4 index is up to date, the solr.suggester.enabled property can be reset to true.
The Solr 4 suggester holds a view of the index. Normally, there is only one live view of the index. An old view can exist for a few seconds or minutes until all the running queries are complete. If there are two or more live views of the index, index tracking will not run. This only happens while the suggester is being build and if the process of building the suggester is slow. To solve this issue, you can configure how often the suggester will run, if it is enabled.
An out-of-the-box SkyVault Community Edition application allows you to use three word phrase suggestions across the repository. Suggestions are not limited by permissions. To limit the scope, you can configure the suggester to use single words or two word phrases by changing schema.xml before you rebuild the index.
