Enable streaming search to prevent socket timeout failures during long running Content Based Retrieval (CBR) search operations

Troubleshooting


Problem

Complex Content Based Retrieval (CBR) queries can take over an hour to complete when querying large Content Search Services (CSS) collections. In such cases, a CSS client socket read timeout exception can occur which will cause the search operation to fail.

Symptom

CSS client side will see a "java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out error" in the P8 Content Platform Engine (CPE) log file. CSS server side will see a "java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe" error in the CSS Trace log file.
