Yesterday, I ran "mailman-web update_index_one_list" against a mailing list. The command output "Indexing 328077 emails" and that is the last I've heard from it.
The process is still running but, looking in ~mailman/web/logs, I can't see anything happening related to that list.
Is there any way to determine how far this process has got, or what it is actually doing? (Without stopping it)
For future indexing, what makes the most difference to the speed? Does it benefit from having multiple cores if I resize the AWS instance to a larger processor? What is the bottleneck for this process?
Which indexer are you using? Whoosh is interminably slow. Think “days to generate a list index” slow.
I recommend Xapien. It is ridiculously fast.
