Question

What should I check when importing large datasets into a Redis database?

Answer

When adding a large dataset, check the output of FT.INFO and verify that num_docs matches the expected corpus size before trusting queries. Check also the value of hash_indexing_failures in FT.INFO before and after importing the dataset.

Learn more about the hash_indexing_failures in the related FT.INFO documentation page.
