I’m working on an old Kaltura 5 installation (single app server installation) and I’ve noticed the following. Can you help me explain it?
Consider the following php code snippet.
....
$type = KalturaSessionType::ADMIN;
$config = new KalturaConfiguration($partnerId);
$config->serviceUrl = $argv[3];
$client = new KalturaClient($config);
$ks = $client->session->start($secret, $userId, $type, $partnerId, $expiry, $privileges);
$client->setKs($ks);
$filter = new KalturaBaseEntryFilter();
$total_media_entries = $client->media->count($filter);
echo "\nTotal Media Entries: ".$total_media_entries;
This displays a count of 1078 entries.
When I look in KMC, I see this number next to All categories
I am assuming these numbers should be the same. Perhaps this is a false assumption.
If they’re supposed to be the same, what might cause them not to be? If they’re not supposed to be the same, where is the difference?
I’ve re-indexed sphinx by following the shell script logic that can be found in newer versions. Essentially stop the searchd daemon and watcher, move the sphinx data and binlog files. Start the searchd daemon again and run the populate PHP scripts. When I did this, these numbers changed but they did not sync.
KMC calls baseentry->list(), not media->list() but in most cases, the result would be the same as most entries are of type media anyhow so I doubt calling baseentry->list() would result in a different count being returned.
When you say you have re-indexed Sphinx, can you please specify all the scripts you have executed? Also, do you only have one Sphinx instance? My guess is you have more than one and some of your requests hit one and some the other.
If you’ve only re-indexed one of them, that would explain the discrepancy and you should do the same for all instances.
Additionally, is the kaltura_populate script running on all your Sphinx instances?
Thanks for the info on the differences in the API interaction. I agree that generally they’ll be the same.
As far as re-indexing sphinx, I didn’t use the scripts in the RPM packages because they weren’t installed. I didn’t install them because I thought they likely wouldn’t function on such an old installation. So, I took a look at the kaltura-sphinx-reindex.sh script and mimic’d it’s behavior with some shell commands. Here is what I did.
./sphinx_watch.sh stop
(this didn’t seem to actually stop searchd, so I killed the processes manually. It did stop PopulateFromLog.php)
