Yeah I’d need to know more about Endeca and how it works but basically what i’m talking about is what it does before that data is presented to Endeca. What Endeca does with the data I’m unconcerned with.

So how does the data get into Endeca? If it’s running a cron job that scans the entire filesystem all of the time; We agree, that’s pretty silly

The way I understood your post is you can’t use the event system you only wish you could. I agree if its built in then definitely use it, but thats not the case. You would actually want to run this job in the endeca pipeline, so it runs the dump before it needs it rather than in cron. Try dumping the whole XML file and at the same time run top on your machine. Look at the resource usage.

Also note that when I say my way I mean using the event system under Plone.. Inotify is under the work harder way.. It would still be faster and more simple than the crob job though. So it’d be more like driving a car to the corner store.

So what is more simple than.. When an event occurs like say; XThisHasChanged we kick off a XThingHasChangedEvent and do whatever we would do as we need to do it. It doesn’t get anymore simple than that. Cron jobs aren’t a proper replacement for an event system.

When something happens; do something. ORRRRR your way where we don’t know when something happens, so just run this job over here, over; “Nevermind me running back and forth doing the same thing over and over again on the same stuff, even though nothing has changed!”

Any Plonistas or Kernel ppl wanna comment?
