Scheduled summary searches not running while summary backfill script is running

0	It appears that my regularly scheduled summary searches do not run while I'm running the backfill_summary_index script. Is this correct? If so, how do I get around this? summary-index asked 14 Dec '10, 21:02 the_wolverine ♦ 4.3k●5●8●43 accept rate: 50%

Yeah, you can look in the script to see this. There's app-level per-search locking to avoid problems where the search is run in an overlapping manner where artifacts might be fighting.

Options:

backfill on another node
think through whether this operation would be safe for your particular environment, and hack up the script
wait for a better answer
