Search in error in the webapp
Since the 2024-09-25, the search is not responsive in the webapp due to slow down of elasticsearch.
The slow down is due to the reactivation of the indexed document indexation (swh-search journal client) after the deployment of the v367 (#5433 (closed))
More context:
- Naive attempt to solve the problem by increasing the replicas of swh-search failed
- The search request fail after 10s
- The timeout chain of the swh components is ok (3600s on the webapp and swh-search)
- The timeout occurs during the api call between the swh-search and elasticsearch
The elasticsearch documentation mentions there is no timeout by default on the api call The timeout configuration is not expose in the swh-search configuration
To mitigate the problem, the journal client of the indexed content is stopped until a solution is find
