Which IIQ version are you inquiring about?
8.2/8.3/8.4
Does anyone have any best practices to share around managing the full-text search index files on servers hosted in AWS? We are required to rebuild our environment once a month to pickup the latest approved AMIs. (Our servers are cattle, not pets) When the new servers come up we have to wait for the full-text search index to finish running behind the scenes before we can perform any search operations. Obviously, this is not ideal. Additionally, if we are encountering heavy load and want to add a new server to the mix, that server has to build its index, too.
Does anyone have any tips for better managing the search index? Could all servers use the same index files on a shared filesystem? (I don’t believe they can because of locking issues) Is there a better way to handle them so they don’t need to be rebuilt so frequently?
