Improve error handling for settings updates in MeilisearchImportCommand #392
Description
Problem
After PR #391, settings updates now occur before document import in the MeilisearchImportCommand. If SettingsUpdater::update() throws an exception (e.g., TimeOutException, connectivity issues), the entire import command terminates silently without indexing any documents, potentially leaving the index empty.
Proposed Solution
Add error handling around the settings update call to:
- Catch exceptions and provide clear error messages to operators
- Decide whether to fail fast or continue with document import when settings updates fail
- Consider partial import behavior when some indexes fail in the middle of processing
Context
This issue was identified during review of PR #391 where the settings update timing was changed to resolve timeout issues.
Original PR: #391
Discussion: #391 (comment)
The error handling strategy for partial imports deserves focused discussion separate from the core timeout fix implemented in PR #391.
