Content uploaded not indexed

[gabrielmarinb]

Hi:

I have Alfresco 6.2 and alfresco-search 2.0 for storing invoices generated daily by our company. Every night a process uploads content using Alfresco REST API.

Specifically past 2 days content was uploaded but not indexed (aproximately 800.000 small docs), probably because an exception in SOLR (OutOfMemory). I may upload again but I wanted to know what is best in these situations. I've tried reindex and fix by SOLR API but I don't know if I am making the right request as I don't see anything happening in SOLR after requests.

I really apreciate your guidance. Thank you

You may be re-checking what happens to your enviroment.

SOLR includes the latest DB transaction indexed. So, if you had an OutOfMemory error, SOLR would be starting from the latest transaction (before the problem happened) to catch up with the repository.

Probably your missing content is already being indexed right now, but it may take a while.

You can find the information of the latest indexed transaction in SOLR using some of the reports described in the official documentation:

Thanks @angelborroy for your reply. The thing is that last day upload was correctly indexed but previous 2 days still doesn't. Is partial reindex an option for this situation?  What do you suggest?

I restore a backup and started reindexing past days but suddenly this error appear and indexation seems to be skipping a couple of days of content:

Can you help me troubleshooting this?

Thanks again!

You may try increasing the amount of RAM available for SOLR.

Thank you Angel. I will do that
