WelcomeHow do you implement full-text search for that 10+ million row table, keep up with the load, and stay relevant? Sphinx is good at those kinds of riddles.
Latest blog entryJul 16, 2010. Sphinx at OSCON Portland July 19-23Latest newsJul 19, 2010. Sphinx 1.10-beta is outWe're happy to release Sphinx 1.10-beta, with a new major version number that means, as promised, real-time indexes support. In addition to RT indexes, it also brings preforked and threaded modes, string attributes, full SphinxQL support (with access to all searchd functions), advanced features such as hitless and blended indexing, optimized index format, and a lot more. A complete list of new 1.10-beta features is available in documentation. How stable are RT indexes and can one use those in production? Pretty much, especially when backed with a Full or Premium support package to guarantee priority fixes and emergency support respectively. RT indexes are already deployed in production by several early adopters, and are reported to work well. Even though we've been focusing on functionality and stability rather than performance for this release, the latter is also reasonable. And that's exactly what that "beta" tag is supposed to mean: while there are things missing from RT indexes, and might be bugs found in both RT and other new features, no major issues are however known. Plus the pre-existing features should be as stable as ever. And yes, with SphinxQL, RT indexes, transactions, crash recovery and other goodies Sphinx now feels almost real close to a database. Except that our full-text searches are still fast! View 17 comment(s) // Add comment // del.icio.us // digg // stumbleOlder headlines
