[ECODP-dev] ckan_reindex script

Tue Sep 10 13:28:56 UTC 2013

Hello Bert,

It depends on when you are reindexing. The '-r' option does a 'refresh',
meaning that it does not clear out the old search index before rebuilding.
This is good in a live situation (eg: daily/weekly updates) where you just
want to update existing dataset information but don't want to drop all of
the current data which is generally good, but might for example not show
the most recent view counts for a dataset.

Without the '-r', the old search data is removed first, which is useful if
your database has changed (when rolling back for example to an older
version).

In general you will probably want to use '-r' but it will depend on the
context. It does not matter if the '-r' flag comes before or after the word
'rebuild' in the two examples above, although for the sake of consistency I
will remove one of them from the docs.

Regards,
John
