07:29 <nfo> Hi. It's not clear in the wiki that riaksearch nodes can join riak nodes. But
I suppose that's true, as riak search commands can be inputs for map/reduce queries. Right ?
07:29 <nfo> Just tried on localhost:
07:30 <nfo> "ring_ownership": "[{'riaksearch@127.0.0.1',32},{'riak@127.0.0.1',32}]",
07:30 <tsal> nfo: that's pretty cool ^
07:30 <tsal> if that's the case :-D
07:32 <nfo> yeah :) but the thing now is to monitor the two types of nodes in the same cluster
to know which type to start if more throughput or disk space is needed
07:33 <bingeldac> seems like a bad idea )
07:33 <bingeldac> :)
07:33 <bingeldac> riak search runs riak as well
07:33 <bingeldac> so you can get both feature sets in one server
07:33 <johnae> aren't riaksearch nodes the same as riak nodes but with added functionality?
07:33 <bingeldac> yes
07:34 <johnae> so if you want search in addition to the "normal" riak stuff you just start
riak search nodes instead, right?
07:34 <nfo> bingeldac: oops, ok :)
07:34 <bingeldac> johnae: yeah
07:35 <nfo> so we cannot use an EnterpriseDS version for now.
07:35 <nfo> there are no "riaksearch" binary in the riak-ee_0.13 package
07:35 <bingeldac> there isn't an Enterprise version of search yet, no
07:36 <nfo> ok, thanks for the info.
07:38 <jpartogi> @sean I have tried the riak test server, it works great. Thanks for this.
07:38 <seancribbs> jpartogi: cheers
07:38 <nfo> bingeldac: So it opens a lot of questions on how to migrate to Riak search
07:39 <nfo> first, can we start RiakSearch on an existing Riak data folder ?
07:39 <bingeldac> no
07:39 <bingeldac> well, it would be possible but require some backflips in the
console I think
07:40 <nfo> can we expect a tool to automate the process ?
07:40 <bingeldac> pondering
07:41 <bingeldac> actually it may work, just not sure about the ring state when you do that
07:41 <bingeldac> but yes, we expect to have tools to make that transition easier
07:42 <nfo> cool. Second question, I did not see any chapter about indexing existing objects
07:44 <seancribbs> nfo: that's manual for now
07:44 <seancribbs> i.e. list-keys -> add to index
07:45 <nfo> seancribbs: ok, got it. Thanks
