Search API Fast

Provides drush commands to index fast with search API (using all your CPU cores).
It's an effective multi-process approach by spawning new drush commands that handle queues.

If you have a 10k+ node-set, this is highly useful.

Relies on drush and unix/linux-based systems.

Controlling search_api_fast examples:
Drupal 8 (settings.php)

$config['search_api_fast.performance']['index_workers'] = 8;
$config['search_api_fast.performance']['worker_batch_size'] = 100;
$config['search_api_fast.performance']['max_batches_worker_respawn'] = 4;
$config['search_api_fast.performance']['drush'] = '/opt/mycooldrush/drush';

Drupal 7 (settings.php)

$conf['search_api_fast_index_workers'] = 8;
$conf['search_api_fast_worker_batch_size'] = 100;
$conf['search_api_fast_max_batches_worker_respawn'] = 4;
