[EP-tech] Upgrading from EPrints 3.2.8 to 3.3.8 -- indexing slowed to a crawl

[A.Birchall at mdx.ac.uk (Alex Birchall)]

Hi,

I have upgraded a repository containing just over 7000 items from 3.2.8 to 3.3.8.  After the upgrade command, an indexing process started going through the records one at a time.  This started out looking as if it would only take 30 minutes or so, but 12 hours later, the indexing process has got to record 6615, and appears to be taking several minutes to index one record.

Life's too short for this!  Is there any way of terminating the indexing process gracefully and recommencing later?

Regards,

Alex
