Resolving Excessive Document Addition and Import Errors

Ken had issues with importing over 360k documents due to operation timeout. Jason advised increasing the timeout in the client library.

Aljosa encountered timeouts when importing 32k documents. Kishore Nallan advised increasing client side timeout. Bruno suggested import in chunks and a retry for individual chunks. Kishore Nallan mentioned the next release of Typesense will make imports more reliable.

Ivan reported an issue wherein duplicate entries appear in his database collection. This occurs sporadically when he deletes a collection, creates a new one with the same name, and adds the same entries. Kishore Nallan identified this as a race condition, suggesting a larger timeout value to avoid premature disconnection. Unable to increase the timeout, Ivan instead reduced his import chunks to 500 entries, which successfully eliminated the error.

Agustin had issues with Typesense getting write timeouts while loading large CSV files. Kishore Nallan suggested chunking data or converting to JSONL before loading. Through troubleshooting, they identified a possible network problem at AWS and found a workaround.

Alan asked about lengthy indexing times for importing documents to Typesense. Jason suggested various potential causes, including network connectivity and system resources. They later identified the problem to be an error in Alan's code.
