Question

I am running a big migration and would like to disable delta indexing so it runs much faster.

Is there a way to specify in the beginning of the task to turn delta indexing off?

Answer 1

Two options:

Model.suspended_delta do
  # all actions in the block don't fire a delta request
end
# A single delta request gets fired at the end

Or, what may be better in your situation:

ThinkingSphinx.deltas_enabled = false

And set it back to true when you’re done.
