Subject: [PATCH 1/2] extsearch: unconditionally reopen on access
Date: Sun, 27 Dec 2020 11:01:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201227110142.8969-2-e@80x24.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201227110142.8969-1-e@80x24.org>
Since ExtSearch lacks the janky cleanup timer of
PublicInbox::Inbox objects, its search results get stale.
Reopen the Xapian DB on every ->search call for now, as
reducing reopen calls doesn't seem worth the complexity.
The Xapian::Database::reopen operation itself takes only ~50us
on my old workstation with 3 shards totaling <200GB. Other
parts of Xapian dominates the search time, so the reopen seems
inconsequential with single-digit shard counts.
