I'm considering AAF for a Rails project, but there seems to be quite a bit of chatter that gives AAF a reputation for being very buggy & unstable.
From what I've been able to determine, most problems result from multiple processes trying to write to the Ferret index, but I've not been able to determine whether problems also result when multiple processes read from the index.
Either way, the DRb server was introduced to try to make AAF stable, but I get the impression that Ferret/acts_as_ferret are still unreliable.
My question is: can I use AAF without the DRb server if I only read from the index and do not write to it? (i.e. the index remains static) Will this provide a stable solution?
