I've managed to import >200,000 SKUs and am now struggling to index them running the command line indexer.
It's basically running for more than 12 hours now and I don't even don't know if it's doing anything or not. I got 4 errors in the meantime telling me "The total number of locks exceeds the lock table size'". I've already found out that this has to do with the innodb_buffer_pool_size.
Is there any way to see if the process is still doing anything? Typing in php indexer.php --status gives me:
Product Attributes: Require Reindex
Product Prices: Require Reindex
Catalog URL Rewrites: Running
Category Products: Require Reindex
Catalog Search Index: Require Reindex
Stock Status: Pending
Tag Aggregation Data: Pending
Also: Is it possible to show products on the Frontend without having the indexer run through everything? It's currently giving me a very old list of articles on one store and nothing on any of the 3 others.
One last thing: Is there any way to speed up the indexer? My "top" looks like there's much potential left because MySQL is only running at 1% CPU and 0.4% MEM. The PHP script isn't even listed.
