[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Books only coming up by TCN

[Dan Scott]

Can you pull up the record, get the record number, and try reingesting
it based on the record number?

We've seen a similar (might be the same) problem (PostgreSQL 8.3,
Evergreen almost 1.6) and wrote a simple script that tries to reingest
any records for which there are no corresponding
metabib.keyword_field_entry entries on a regular basis.

The problem in our case seems to be with the
reporter.simple_rec_sync() function finding a duplicate ID, which
theoretically shouldn't happen. Some sort of a race condition,
probably. It's quite annoying. And a related concern is that once a
record has been ingested, once it has been edited there's no guarantee
(while this problem exists) that the edited record will be reingested
and have the updates reflected in the index.

The script we run on an hourly basis is
