[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Best Way to Reindex with PUI Live?

[Blake Carver]

Theoretically another way to do it is to update system_mtime on everything as well.

Someplace in the official solr docs they say the best way to do it is to wipe everything. I've found it best to empty /data/.

We'll usually do the full reindexes on a Friday night, most sites will have finished up by Monday.

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Best Way to Reindex with PUI Live?

Hi all-

Just wondering what people have been doing when they need to do a total reindex and they have a live PUI? Our reindex takes about 4-6 hours typically and I'm looking to avoid 4-6 hours of PUI downtime if at all possible.

I'm planning to just wipe the indexer_state files and leave the index itself in place while the re-index occurs, but I'm wondering if there are better/alternate methods? Theoretically the PUI should still be functional while the reindex takes place if only the indexer_state files are wiped.

Thanks!
Joshua
