Liferay: timeout on the regeneration of the search indexes

Question

When launching the functionality of a "Rebuild all search indexes." very often the request times out, perhaps because the browser waits too long the answer. How do I fix this? As it is I can not figure out when it ends the regeneration of the indices and if unsuccessful

Liferay 6.2

Answer 1

If your data set is pretty big regenerating the indexes can take a lot of time. There’s no ‘fix’ for this. You could, for example, use a different Indexer, such as Solr, to remove the burden from the machine running Liferay.
