Concurrent filter applications

[mcraven]

There is another thread in the forum that describes an indexing issue: http://forums.developer.mindtouch.co...Search-Results

I wonder if the two are related.

OK, made some progress. I changed my mindtouch.deki.startup.xml file to change parallelism parameter to one, down from the default of 10 as follows:

<indexer>
<filter-timeout>300</filter-timeout>
<indexer-parallelism>1</indexer-parallelism>
<path.store>d:\dekiwiki\web\bin\cache\luceneindex\ \$1</path.store>
<filter-path extension="*" arguments="$1">d:\dekiwiki\web\bin\filters\mindtou ch.deki.filter.exe</filter-path>
</indexer>

Once I did this all the other symptoms went away and the indexing completed successfully. It would seem that running more than one filter application at a time was the cause of the problems. It would be nice if one of the Mindtouch developers would comment on this observation.

Quick Question... The OS your running is it 32-bit or 64-bit? I noticed that I am running CentOS 64-bit but the Mono I had installed was 32-bit and so I am wondering if maybe in the Windows world if you might be running a 32-bit indexer vs. 64-bit. Maybe in the 32-bit world there is a bug/limit on number of indexers running at the same time.

I am running Windows Server 2003 in 32-bit mode. This means I am using .NET, not Mono however. In addition I tried decreasing the indexer parallelism down to 4 and I still had issues. It wasn't until I decreased it to 1 that my problems went away.
