Sunspot Offline

Simple fail over method into your sunspot_rails + sidekiq setup

Why?

Because Solr sometimes fails, it happens. It might be a maintenance work you have to do or just Out-Of-Memory problems. If you are running search-sensitive Rails app, you have to deal with it. This gem was developed to postpone your index tasks automatically into a sidekiq queue if Solr engine becomes unavailable

Rails Support

Rails 5.0 and higher

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sunspot_offline'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sunspot_offline

Configuration

By default gem is configured to use built-in workers which will auto-retry indexing in 1 hour is Solr goes offline. This all is configurable, preferable via initializer:

# config/initializers/sunspot_offline.rb
  
SunspotOffline.configure do |config|
  config.retry_delay = 1.hour
end

Valid configuration options

Option	Type	Default value
index_job	Class	bundled worker class	Sidekiq worker which will retry saving new documents to Solr. Accepts 2 arguments: ActiveRecord class and id (numbers, arrays, and hashes are all valid for this argument)
removal_job	Class	bundled worker class	Sidekiq worker which will retry removing existing documents from Solr. Accepts same set of arguments as `index_job`.
retry_delay	Duration	1 hour	Delay in which sidekiq will attempt to run `index_job` or `removal_job`
default_queue	String	'default'	Sidekiq's named queue to use
solr_error_callback	Proc(exception)	`nil`	A proc which will be executed if Solr is detected to be offline
filter_sidekiq_job_callback	Proc(job_class)	`nil`	Since some Solr indexing might be happening inside yours sidekiq jobs they dont need to have a custom fail over, sidekiq is able to retry failures by itself. Using this proc you can configure which jobs could be filtered out: `->(job_name) { job_name == 'MySolrIndexJob' }`. In this sample `MySolrIndexJob` wont be applied for a fail over
