Fix: stale term-search cleanup before reindexing#290
Merged
Conversation
Use the acronym-scoped term index cleanup when reindexing ontology terms, and use the full ontology index cleanup when deleting a submission. This prevents stale class docs from older submissions from remaining in Solr and appearing in suggest search results.

Description
Fixes ncbo/ontologies_api#227.
NPDX suggest/autocomplete search was returning stale capitalized classes from an older ontology submission. Selecting those results led to 404s because the class records were no longer present in the latest NPDX submission.
The term indexer was calling the generic
Ontology#unindexpath before indexing new terms. For ontology records, that path does not perform acronym-scoped class term cleanup, so stale class documents from older submissions could remain in Solrterm_searchand appear insuggest=truesearch results.Changes
unindex_by_acronym(false)before term reindexing so existing class docs for the ontology acronym are removed fromterm_search.unindex_all_data(index_commit)when deleting ontology submissions so term and property index cleanup go through the explicit cleanup path.Verification
