Live migration of an index in a document store
The patent US12067278B2 outlines a method and system for the live migration of an index within a document store, particularly focusing on non-traditional relational databases (RDB). The process begins with the creation of a new index based on a change request that specifies modifications to the current index. This new index retains the mappings and settings of the current index while incorporating the requested changes. A reindexing process is initiated, allowing documents to be copied from the current index to the new index while keeping the current index active. The method also includes resharding the current index, which involves checking shard sizes, determining a new number of shards, and migrating to the new index. Upon successful reindexing, the current index is deleted, and all read and write requests are redirected to the new index.
Additionally, the claims detail that during the reindexing process, write requests can be directed to both the new and current indices, while read requests are directed solely to the current index. The system is designed to assign a single controller to manage the reindexing process, ensuring efficient handling of requests and maintaining the topology of both indices. The method also incorporates a waiting period before deleting the current index to allow for the aging of cached data and includes provisions for backing up the current index post-reindexing. Overall, this patent presents a structured approach to index migration that minimizes downtime and maintains data integrity during the transition.
