Slow queries

[joepio]

The responses for simple queries can take up to 30 seconds.

Hopefully this is fixable with current hardware.

We reconfigured redis to prevent saving any kind of state which makes performance better in general. We're looking into other ways to improve performance.

Is there an update on this? I am trying to implement some cross-index searches, but they can take minutes to complete. I am using the API to find mentions of academic researchers in policy documents.

Like so:

            "query": {
                "bool": {
                        "must": [
                            {"bool": {"should": ["Ronald Van Steden", "R. Steden", "Ronald Steden"]}},
                            {"match_phrase": {
                                "text": {
                                    "query": "Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam",
                                    "slop": 1,
                                    }    
                            }}
                        ]
                    }
            },

Are the search clusters provisioned with enough RAM for indexed text data?
