Reindex of single node

ganeshkolhe — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 14:06:47 GMT

Hi,Sometimes on our production system index gets corrupted and we can not find the node with Lucene though the node can be accessed via node browser. Do alfresco have some mechanism to index this single node? Is there any workaround there other than FULL Re-index?Thanks in advance.

One easy way to get a single node to re-index is to just update it.

However, how do you know which nodes are affected. And why are your indexes getting corrupted in the first place? That's not normal behviour.

Thanks mrogers for your quick answer.
We have custom spaces stored under company Home and we have customized search using Ajax on titlebar. we have indexed the spaces on their name like Ganesh_Kolhe_12345 and we are doing lucene query on the type but even if the node is present, lucene returns null resultset. If you browse it through node browser and give noderef it is serchable but if you give lucene it is not searchable. So we have concluded that lucene index is corrupted that is why null resultset is there.
Is our understanding wrong? if we can not find node using lucene even if it is present in repository is there any other way to get it in lucene search result? It happens several time on our prod server we have around 30,000 spaces and 3 million documents. Please suggest.

Thanks in advance.

Same issue here (Alfresco 3.2r2, MySQL DB, CentOS x64, Ext3, Java 1.6.0_18)… Lucene search result produces only a part of full list after FULL reindex. (no search result issues berfore FULL reindex)

We've 17 Share sites created in "/Sites" space, with same folder structure - 3 sub-folders - in "documentLibrary".

Query results 17 nodes: PATH:"//st:sites/*" AND TYPE:"cm:folder"

Query results 16 nodes (instead of 17): PATH:"//st:sites//cm:documentLibrary"

Query results 28 nodes (instead of 17*3) : PATH:"//st:sites//cm:documentLibrary/*" AND TYPE:"cm:folder"

Node browser and Alfresco WEB interface show correct space structure with node.children mode.

Previous issue tested with Alfresco 3.3 (daily snapshot) - database and reindexing works now.
