How to refresh Geos cache?

To refresh the Geos cache, you need to update the search API (Apache Solr) and refresh the cache on both server nodes (geos-02 and geos-03).

​
Steps

  1. SSH into geos-02 or geos-03: 
    ssh geos-02
# or
ssh geos-03
  2. Switch to deployer user: 
    sudo su - deployer
  3. Generate cache (on both nodes): 
    /usr/bin/curl http://localhost:3000/generate
  4. Reindex Solr (on both nodes): 
    /usr/bin/curl http://localhost:4000/indexer/reindex/3
You must run these commands on both geos-02 and geos-03 to ensure the cache is refreshed across all search instances.

Important Notes

  • Weather ID column is heavily used throughout the system and cannot be removed, even though it was originally a mapper to Foreca
  • is_enterprise_only flag controls access to enterprise locations for ARD Solutions clients
  • Apache Solr is deployed on both geos-02 and geos-03 for redundancy
  • Geo location type does not support overrides
