You’ll need Thinking Sphinx 1.3.0 or later, and Delayed Job as well. The latter is flagged as a dependency.
gem install ts-delayed-delta --source http://gemcutter.org
In your environment.rb
file, with the rest of your gem dependencies:
config.gem 'ts-delayed-delta',
:lib => 'thinking_sphinx/deltas/delayed_delta',
:version => '>= 1.0.0',
:source => 'http://gemcutter.org'
And add the following line to the bottom of your Rakefile
:
require 'thinking_sphinx/deltas/delayed_delta/tasks'
If this is your first time running Delayed Job, then you’re going to need the jobs table migration as well:
script/generate delayed_job
For the indexes you want to use this delta approach, make sure you set that up in their define_index
blocks.
define_index do
# ...
set_property :delta => :delayed
end
If you’ve never used delta indexes before, you’ll want to add the boolean column named delta to each model that is using the approach.
def self.up
add_column :articles, :delta, :boolean, :default => true, :null => false
end
Once you’ve got it all set up, all you need to do is make sure that the delayed job process is running – either by Delayed Job’s built-in approach, or Thinking Sphinx’s custom rake task:
rake thinking_sphinx:delayed_delta
There’s also a short name for the same task, to save your fingers some effort:
rake ts:dd
- Ryan Schlesinger (Allowing installs as a plugin)
- Maximilian Schulz (Ensuring compatibility with Bundler)
- Edgars Beigarts (Adding intelligent description for tasks)
- Alexander Simonov (Explicit table definition)
- David Goodlad (Delayed Job/ActiveRecord load order fix)
- Ben Hutton (Delayed Job compatibility update)
- Reinier de Lange (Fix for table name reference)
