How On-Premise Search works

As of Jive 6.0, the application includes a search service for Content and Places that reduces the amount of disk I/O, memory, and storage on each of the individual web application nodes.

The On-Premise Search service is composed of several sub-services:

Ingress : The Ingress Service receives creates, modifies, and moves activities from the web application and delivers them to the Indexer Service.

Search : The Search Service interacts with the Indexer Service to handle ingress and search requests from the web app.

Rebuild : The Rebuild Service allows a second index to be built while the Indexer and Search Service continue to handle ingress and search requests.

Manage : The Manage Service allows the web application to manage the Search Service and Indexer.

Service Directory : The Service Directory Service allows configuration of what host and port pairs will be used for all of the other services. This is a key feature in supporting an HA deployment of search. For more information, see Configuring On-Premise Search service for high-availability.
