I am using Hibernate Search 3.3.0.Final and trying to optimize my indexing step.

The issue I am having right now is that, the root element I am indexing say A, has lots of lazy loaded collections like 20.

When I kick off the indexer, I always get a LazyInitializationException on the collections.

If I make them eager, then the issue goes away, but ideally, I don't want to fetch them eagerly. I'll much rather prefer they remain lazily fetched.

The alternative is to crawl through in a loop and index using fullTextSession.index(T), but that is really really slow as I have upwards of 3million records.

Is this a known issue with MassIndexer? Or is there away to get around this? I have read the forums and tried all the suggestions I have seen including trying to run it on a single thread like

fullTextSession.createIndexer(A.class)
.batchSizeToLoadObjects(30)
.threadsForSubsequentFetching(1)
.threadsToLoadObjects(1)

to no avail.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

please don't double-post, I won't answer earlier.

I will need more information.
could you show at least the stacktrace?
a working unit test will get my full attention.

Sorry for double posting. I thought it might be better to stick it in the forum for the same reasons you outlined in your email. I'll get you a stacktrace and unit test once I am able to. Thanks for your quick response.

Sanne - Sorry for the late response. I wanted to have a clear understanding of what the issue was before posting again. I think I have pretty much narrowed it down. I have raised a JIRA issue @ http://opensource.atlassian.com/project ... SEARCH-689 along with a test case to easily reproduce the problem.

Please don't hesitate to contact me for any further details I can provide.

Thanks

thank you. Let's continue the discussion on JIRA.
