添加到Whoosh索引的奇怪错误

Question

将新文档添加到Whoosh索引时，有人会遇到这个奇怪的错误吗？

这是代码：

def add_to_index(self, doc):
    ix = index.open_dir(self.index_dir)
    writer = AsyncWriter(ix) # use async writer to prevent write lock errors
    writer.add_document(**self.get_doc_args(doc))
    writer.commit()

def get_doc_args(self, doc):
    return {
        'id':        u""+str(doc['id']),
        'org':       doc['org__id'],
        'created':   doc['created_date'],
        'date':      doc['received_date'],
        'from_addr': doc['from_addr'],
        'subject':   doc['subject'],
        'body':      doc['messagebody__cleaned_message']
    }

我收到以下错误：

TypeError('ord() expected a character, but string of length 0 found',)

奇怪的是，使用标准编写器（即不是AsyncWriter）使用完全相同的代码也可以。 我在这里想念什么？ 请注意，在生产中我必须使用AsyncWriter以避免LockErrors。

Answer 1

此错误是由某种索引损坏引起的。 在我的情况下，重建索引时机器由于另一个原因而崩溃。

您可以通过完全删除whoosh_index文件夹内容并重新建立索引来轻松解决该问题。

最终找到了解决方案； 它叫做Solr :-)
