Pootle index

Integration of django-haystack and search backends for Pootle.

Installation

Currently only installable from git

$ pip install -e git@github.com:translate/pootle_index

Configuration

Add haystack and pootle_index to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS += ["haystack", "pootle_index"]

Add a configuration for your haystack backend, only Elasticsearch is currently tested

HAYSTACK_CONNECTIONS = {
  'default': {
      'ENGINE': 'haystack.backends.elasticsearch_backend.ElasticsearchSearchEngine',
      'URL': 'http://127.0.0.1:9200/',
      'INDEX_NAME': 'haystack'}}

Add a configuration for a haystack signal processor, to keep your index up to date:

HAYSTACK_SIGNAL_PROCESSOR = 'haystack.signals.RealtimeSignalProcessor'

Finally set the POOTLE_SEARCH_BACKEND in your settings to the haystack search backend.

POOTLE_SEARCH_BACKEND = "pootle_index.search.HaystackSearchBackend"

Indexing your Pootle server

If you wish to clear the index and start again you can do the following:

$ pootle rebuild_index

Rebuilding the index will take a very long time on a large site.

To simply update the index:

$ pootle update_index
