No INSERTS occuring with `node bin/osm-changes.js`

Closed this issue 6 years ago · 3 comments

I execute node bin/osm-changes.js successfully (no errors). But no data is getting inserted into the database - it remains empty after many hours. Are there additional options or settings that need to be configured?

Closing until I can come up with more clues.

Ok, I have a little more to go on. Once i commented out the initialSequence options, the streams started flowing into the database. Curious if I am circumventing something important by commenting out that option; ?

(Sorry, I was on vacation, back now.)

It intentionally defaults to sequences that haven't occurred yet. By commenting it out, you're telling it to start with the currently-available replication event. By providing a sequence in the past, you can backfill data (I wouldn't recommend more than a week since it takes a while to catch up).
