Gerrit Online Reindex

[dhruva kumar]

Hi,

I'm planning to upgrade Gerrit 2.10 to 2.11.1.

Gerrit is hosted on Tomcat 7 and is using MySQL 5.6 on Windows 7. The documentation of Gerrit 2.11 mentions that if the index version of LUCENE is 11 [which is the same in my case], online reindexing could be used to reduce the downtime of Gerrit.

While running java -jar gerrit-2.11.war init -d <gerrit_site>, I still get the prompt to run reindex before launching Gerrit.

• How do I reindex online?

I have a huge list of Git repos with years of closed reviews and also many open reviews. I do not want to spend hours reindexing gerrit offline. 
Any suggestions?

Thanks, Dhruva

When Gerrit start, it will start online reindexer automatically, you do not need reindex offline. You should see this line in the logs: Starting online reindex from schema version 11 to 14.

Hi Hugo,

Where could I find log file which states about re-indexing?
I've verified under $gerrit_site/logs/ , I couldn't able to find any information on online re-index from those log files.

Thanks!

This log message should appear in $gerrit_site/logs/error_log

 

Thanks!

Since you are running gerrit in tomcat, any log that would end up in $gerrit_site/logs/error_log are going in catalina log: $tomcat_base/logs/catalina.out
