title: Timeout reading verity collection - CF8
body: <p>For a long time now I've been having a problem with using the verity search service bundled with ColdFusion 8.
  The issue is with timeout errors occurring when perfoming any operation on a collection.
  It's intermittent, and usually occurs after a few operations have been successfully performed.</p>
  
  <p>For instance: If I'm adding records to a collection the first, say 15 records, will go through with no problems, but all subsequent records will timeout until the service is rebooted.</p>
  
  <p>I'm on a shared server, Windows 2008, 64bit as far as I know. 
  The error I receive is:
  <strong>"An error occurred while performing an operation in the Search Engine library. Error reading collection information.: com.verity.api.administration.ConfigurationException: java.io.IOException: Read timed out"</strong></p>
  
  <p>Having spoken to my hosting company, and after doing some research, it's been suggested that the number of collections on a server may cause this issue. I've reduced the amount of collections I use, and there are currently 39 collections on the server. As I'm on a shared server, I have no control over how many collections other customers use, however I've read that the limit is 128 collections, so I don't see why 39 should cause it to become unusable. The collections aren't big, there's maybe around 5,000 records between all of them.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
