Hello.
Is there a way how to avoid reindexing of an entity each time the entity is changed? Whenever I update an entity (which may be several times per second) the entity is reindexed. I would need something which allows me to control how often the entity is reindexed, let say once per two seconds only (if changed).

Any comments are welcome

Hi,

You could disable automatic indexing (hibernate.search.indexing_strategy = manual) and re-index manually based on a trigger event. Of course you need some sort of field in the database in this case which you can query to determine the changed entities (eg a last update timestamp). Is this what you are after?

Alternatively you could try to write your own FullTextIndexEventListener. It all depends really what you want to achieve. Is the automatic indexing really a bottleneck? How up to date does your index have to be?

Thanks for your answer.
This option sounds quite interesting.



The index can be few second late. The automatic indexing in my application is like indexing a text paragraph after each new character typed.
I thought about my own FullTextIndexEventListener first, but your first suggestion sounds realy interesting.
