This Django app allows you to utilize Celery for automatically updating and
deleting objects in a Haystack_ search index.

Requirements
------------

* Django 1.8+
* Haystack_ `2.X`_
* Celery_ 3.X

You also need to install your choice of one of the supported search engines
for Haystack and one of the supported backends for Celery.

.. _Haystack: http://haystacksearch.org
.. _Celery: http://www.celeryproject.org

Installation
------------

Use your favorite Python package manager to install the app from PyPI, e.g.::

pip install celery-haystack

For Django < 1.9 you need to install and configure `django-transaction-hooks`_ -- an app that
brings transaction commit hooks to Django.

.. _django-transaction-hooks: https://github.com/carljm/django-transaction-hooks

Usage
-----

1. Add ``'celery_haystack'`` to the ``INSTALLED_APPS`` setting

.. code:: python

INSTALLED_APPS = [
# ..
'celery_haystack',
]

2. Enable the celery-haystack signal processor in the settings

.. code:: python

HAYSTACK_SIGNAL_PROCESSOR = 'celery_haystack.signals.CelerySignalProcessor'

3. Alter all of your ``SearchIndex`` subclasses to inherit from
``celery_haystack.indexes.CelerySearchIndex`` and
``haystack.indexes.Indexable``

.. code:: python

from haystack import indexes
from celery_haystack.indexes import CelerySearchIndex
from myapp.models import Note

class NoteIndex(CelerySearchIndex, indexes.Indexable):
text = indexes.CharField(document=True, model_attr='content')

def get_model(self):
return Note

4. Ensure your Celery instance is running.

This app is a blatant rip-off of Daniel Lindsley's queued_search_
app but uses Ask Solem Hoel's Celery_ instead of the equally awesome
queues_ library by Matt Croyden.
