lucene - Online reindexing in Gerrit 2.11 -


i want upgrade gerrit 2.10 2.11.1.

gerrit hosted on tomcat 7 , using mysql 5.6 on windows 7. documentation of gerrit 2.11 mentions if index version of lucene 11 [which same in case], online reindexing used reduce downtime of gerrit.

while running java -jar gerrit-2.11.war init -d <gerrit_site>, still prompt run reindex before launching gerrit.

  • how reindex online?
  • i have huge list of git repos years of closed reviews , many open reviews. not want spend hours reindexing gerrit offline. suggestions?

cheers, anantha

since version 2.11.2, can start online reindexing using gerrit index start ssh command.
