Thanks Chris, that's helpful.

@Chris D looked into this and discovered the entries appear to be Googlebot hitting the find-new page repeatedly. This brings up a few followup questions in my head, and posting here so that the answers are available to others in the future. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the purpose of the...

I admin a series of sites for someone. One of the sites has the xf_search table blowing up--it's 17.4GB by itself, which makes no sense because the site isn't that highly traffic'd. I dug a little deeper: SELECT search_type, COUNT(*) FROM mavicpilots_forum_xf.xf_search GROUP BY...

Whenever I update an addon, this plugin now forgets the resource manager url for the upgraded addon, so it no longer knows where to check for addon updates. IE, after upgrading an addon, I used to see a "green checkbox" and now I see a red X.

FYI, looks like SparkPost now pseudo-supports forwarding bounced emails to a mailbox via this Heroku app on their Github: https://github.com/SparkPost/sp-bounce-forwarding-service

How did you configure Sparkpost to send the bounce notifications to a specific email address that Xenforo could monitor? I contacted Sparkpost and they said they offer a webhook but no forwarding bounces to a dedicated mailbox.

I'm getting a bunch of errors that say: ErrorException: Undefined variable: dns - library/TPUDetectSpamReg/AS.php:40 Generated By: Unknown Account, Yesterday at 11:25 AM Stack Trace #0 /home/nginx/domains/mydomain.com/public/library/TPUDetectSpamReg/AS.php(40)...

Agreed. This is one of the better articles I've seen on API structure: www.vinaysahni.com/best-practices-for-a-pragmatic-restful-api

Just upgraded to ES 2.1, and also upgraded the Ansible role. Everything went fine except for: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/12688#issuecomment-167296128

Just updated to v2. I got bit by this issue: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/12688 Once I figured that out, everything else was smooth sailing and seems to be working fine.

That guide is pretty outdated and not what I'd recommend someone use. I'm also not sure that Floren keeps the Axivo repo updated, but that's a risk anytime you're using a repackaged repo rather than the source. These days, ElasticSearch itself has solid repo with solid defaults for ES v2, so...

Super stable for me on two different servers. I'm not running a multi-node cluster, but I know folks who do and are really happy with the performance + stability.

I understand, I'm in the same situation, planning to switch later this week. Whenever you do eventually switch, if you experiment with heap sizes I'd be curious to hear the results.

@Xon curious if you're running even lower RAM for ES now that v2 is out? I saw that one of the improvements mentioned in the ES changelog was more efficient memory use.

Thanks for the detailed answers Chris, much appreciated!
