moved and was not cleared anymore. This results in an huge fieldcache.
(http://lucene.apache.org/#highlights-of-the-lucene-release-includehttps://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-5666)
Here I try to use DovValues where it is possible.
For this I used the Api-Scheme as new basis für the Solr-Schema.
This needs at least a complete optimization of the Solr-Index to get a
smaller FieldCache.
Everything that is indexed with these setting will not use the
Fieldcache at all.
bayesian filters. This can be used to classify documents during
indexing-time using a pre-definied bayesian filter.
New wordings:
- a context is a class where different categories are possible. The
context name is equal to a facet name.
- a category is a facet type within a facet navigation. Each context
must have several categories, at least one custom name (things you want
to discover) and one with the exact name "negative".
To use this, you must do:
- for each context, you must create a directory within
DATA/CLASSIFICATION with the name of the context (the facet name)
- within each context directory, you must create text files with one
document each per line for every categroy. One of these categories MUST
have the name 'negative.txt'.
Then, each new document is classified to match within one of the given
categories for each context.

W org.apache.solr.handler.admin.AdminHandlers <requestHandler name="/admin/" class="solr.admin.AdminHandlers" /> is deprecated . It is not required anymore
This is a very complex migration: many classes had been renamed or
removed, dependencies changed and the solr index type is now aligned to
be a solr cloud repository.
Together with the Solr 5.2 library update, one other dependent library
had been updated as well: httpclient 4.4->4.4.1
Older indexes are migrated from 4_10 to 5_2. However, the new index
structure is more efficient and we recommend to re-index everything.
Please use the index export before you do the update to a large
surrogate xml file. After the update, start with an empty index and then
initialize this with your dump.
This assigns priorities to incoming requests. Higher priority numbers are served before lower.
(disabled by default in defaults/web.xml,
uncomment or copy entry to DATA/Settings/web.xml)
- date navigation
The date is taken from the CONTENT of the documents / web pages, NOT
from a date submitted in the context of metadata (i.e. http header or
html head form). This makes it possible to search for documents in the
future, i.e. when documents contain event descriptions for future
events.
The date is written to an index field which is now enabled by default.
All documents are scanned for contained date mentions.
To visualize the dates for a specific search results, a histogram
showing the number of documents for each day is displayed. To render
these histograms the morris.js library is used. Morris.js requires also
raphael.js which is now also integrated in YaCy.
The histogram is now also displayed in the index browser by default.
To select a specific range from a search result, the following modifiers
had been introduced:
from:<date>
to:<date>
These modifiers can be used separately (i.e. only 'from' or only 'to')
to describe an open interval or combined to have a closed interval. Both
dates are inclusive. To select a specific single date only, use the
'to:' - modifier.
The histogram shows blue and green lines; the green lines denot weekend
days (saturday and sunday).
Clicking on bars in the histogram has the following reaction:
1st click: add a from:<date> modifier for the date of the bar
2nd click: add a to:<date> modifier for the date of the bar
3rd click: remove from and date modifier and set a on:<date> for the bar
When the on:<date> modifier is used, the histogram shows an unlimited
time period. This makes it possible to click again (4th click) which is
then interpreted as a 1st click again (sets a from modifier).
The display feature is NOT switched on by default; to switch it on use
the /ConfigSearchPage_p.html servlet.
introduce FederateSearchManager handling search heuristic to external systems via specific FederateSearchConnectors,
which provide the query() functionallity, the translation to YaCy schema .toYaCySchema() and the search() routine to deliver results to searchevents, which is generally implemented in Abstract connector.
The manager enforces now a min 15s delay between calls to external systems.
Besides the OpensearchConnector a SolrFederateSearchConnector is available. It uses a additional config file for fieldname translation.
default heuristicopensearch.conf:
- openbdb.com removed - seems not longer to deliver results
- config via solrconnector to datacite.org added (large technical library archive)
technique should not be used at all! This project is about privacy, the
existence of a click servlet is one example why people should NOT use a
search portal if such exists.
This is intended for peers who want to participate in the P2P network but don't wish to load/fill-up their index with metadata of every received search result.
The DHT transfer is not effected by this option (and will work as usual, so that a peer disabling the new store to index switch still receives and holds the metadata according to DHT rules).
Downside for the local peer is that search speed will not improve if search terms are only avail. remote or by quick hits in local index.
To be able to improve the local index a Click-Servlet option was added additionally.
If switched on, all search result links point to this servlet, which forwards the users browser (by html header) to the desired page and feeds the page to the fulltext-index.
The servlet accepts a parameter defining the action to perform (see defaults/web.xml, index, crawl, crawllinks)
The option check-boxes are placed in ConfigPortal.html
so web.xml in defaults dir is applied first and optional DATA/SETTINGS/web.xml loaded on top.
By using this Jetty feature (default web.xml) we assure that changes to the default are applied to existing installations
and individual addition/changes are still respected.
preferred over https. While this is a bad idea from the standpoint of
security it is more common applicable for environments where http and
https mix and for some domains https is not available. Then the
double-check is possible even if no postprocessing is performed.
from documents which actually are inside the index. This can be
reproduced using the crawl result table at
http://localhost:8090/CrawlResults.html?process=5
The cache is temporary disabled to remove the bad behaviour, however a
later reactivation of that feater may be possible.
notions within the fulltext of a document. This class attempts to
identify also dates given abbreviated or with missing year or described
with names for special days, like 'Halloween'. In case that a date has
no year given, the current year and following years are considered.
This process is therefore able to identify a large set of dates to a
document, either because there are several dates given in the document
or the date is ambiguous. Four new Solr fields are used to store the
parsing result:
dates_in_content_sxt:
if date expressions can be found in the content, these dates are listed
here in order of the appearances
dates_in_content_count_i:
the number of entries in dates_in_content_sxt
date_in_content_min_dt:
if dates_in_content_sxt is filled, this contains the oldest date from
the list of available dates
#date_in_content_max_dt:
if dates_in_content_sxt is filled, this contains the youngest date from
the list of available dates, that may also be possibly in the future
These fields are deactiviated by default because the evaluation of
regular expressions to detect the date is yet too CPU intensive. Maybe
future enhancements will cause that this is switched on by default.
The purpose of these fields is the creation of calendar-like search
facets, to be implemented next.
TimeoutRequests. The purpose is to test if YaCy runs better on VMs where
there is a limitation of concurrent processes; see
/proc/user_beancounters in row numproc; this value is limited and should
be low. Try to set timeoutrequests to keep this low. (works only after
restart)
set to 'Always Fresh' the cache is always used if the entry in the cache
exist. This is a good way to archive web content and access it without
going online again in case the documents exist.
To do so, open /Settings_p.html?page=ProxyAccess and check the "Always
Fresh" checkbox.
This is set do false which behave as set before.
If you set this to true, then you have your web archive in DATA/HTCACHE.
Copy this to carry around your private copy of the internet!
if file in DATA/SETTINGS it is loaded otherwise file in ./defaults is loaded
(if locale ./defaults/stopwords.xx doesn't exist take solr/lang/stopwords_xx.txt as default)
move yacy.stopwords, yacy.stopwords.de and yacy.badwords.example out of root directory to ./defaults directory
This is the first element of a new 'decoration' component which may hold
switches for different external appearance parameters.
The first switch in that context is decoration.audio (as usual in
yacy.init). This value is set to false by default, that means the audio
feedback element is switched off by default. To switch it on, set
decoration.audio = true (using /ConfigProperties_p.html). You will then
hear sounds for the following events:
- remote searches
- incoming dht transmissions
- new documents from the crawler
Sound clips are stored in htroot/env/soundclips/ which is done so
because a future implementation will read these files using the http
client and with configurable urls which will make it very easy for the
user to replace the given sounds with own sounds.
string which is visible in the browser. That makes it possible that the
browser instructs the user how to change a forgotten admin password
(during runtime).
- with search modifier /heuristic a request is send to all configured opensearch target systems (old /heuristic/blekko modifier not longer valid)
- this allows to use opensearch heuristic on individual search request (in contrast to configuration HEURISTIC_OPENSEARCH=true which sends a osd request on all global searches
- the index.html searchoption text adjusted to be displayed only if option configured
- add Archive-It to predefined systems
attribute in the <a> tag for each crawl. This introduces a lot of
changes because it extends the usage of the AnchorURL Object type which
now also has a different toString method that the underlying
DigestURL.toString. It is therefore not advised to use .toString at all
for urls, just just toNormalform(false) instead.
Filter queries are not actually related to ranking, but user requests
have pointed out that specific boost queries to move results to the end
of the result list are not sufficient. Such boost filters may be better
executed as actual filter and therefore such a filter can now be
statically applied to every search request. A typical use could be the
expression "http_unique_b:true AND www_unique_b:true" which uses the
recently introduced fields http_unique_b and www_unique_b which are true
only for one of the alternatives with/without http(s) and with/without
prefix 'www.' in host names.
The collection field (can be filled i.e. in Crawl Start) can be used to
add categories to YaCy index entries. The usage of that field was
restricted to solr searches and post argument filters as implemented in
commit f7571386a3.
This commit extends collections to a full navigation option in the
standard YaCy search interface. The field is not active by default but
can be activated easily in the /ConfigSearchPage_p.html servlet (just
check the 'Collection' facet field). Collections can now be used for (at
least) two purposes:
- to provide search tenants (through post argument collection)
- to provide self-made category navigation
Search requests may now have (independently from switched on or off
collection facet) a "collection:<collection-name>" modifier attached;
firthermore collection names may use disjunctions using the '|' pipe
symbol. For example, this is a valid search request:
www collection:user|proxy
on proxied pages a link to exit proxy is added to top of page.
Link text can be configured in web.xml init-parameter (see default/web.xml). If missing no link is displayed.
resource.disk.used.max.overshot by 4 times because first users reached
that limit and wondered why the crawler was paused automatically :)
The crawler will now stop at 2TB disk usage :)
This organizes all urls to be loaded in separate queues for each host.
Each host separates the crawl depth into it's own queue. The primary
rule for urls taken from any queue is, that the crawl depth is minimal.
This produces a crawl depth which is identical to the clickdepth.
Furthermorem the crawl is able to create a much better balancing over
all hosts which is fair to all hosts that are in the queue.
This process will create a very large number of files for wide crawls in
the QUEUES folder: for each host a directory, for each crawl depth a
file inside the directory. A crawl with maxdepth = 4 will be able to
create 10.000s of files. To be able to use that many file readers, it
was necessary to implement a new index data structure which opens the
file only if an access is wanted (OnDemandOpenFileIndex). The usage of
such on-demand file reader shall prevent that the number of file
pointers is over the system limit, which is usually about 10.000 open
files. Some parts of YaCy had to be adopted to handle the crawl depth
number correctly. The logging and the IndexCreateQueues servlet had to
be adopted to show the crawl queues differently, because the host name
is attached to the port on the host to differentiate between http,
https, and ftp services.
- removed the default version blacklist regex from init (for future versions)
!!! left existing update blacklist setting untouched !!!
(existing installation wanting autoupdate for 1.71 need to change blacklist in ConfigUpdate_p.html)
- moved old blacklist patch to migration.java
a document. This is the upper limit for the clickdepth_i value which may
be shorter in case that the crawler did not take the shortest path to
the document.
- use JSoup parser for selective rewrite of html body <a href= links only,
instead of regex which rewrites also header href/src links
- this improves display of pages which use header <base> tag
- tags with src attribute are taken from original location (like css) improving display and are not routed trough the indexer
Disadvantage: scripting links will drop out of proxy
Setting of the servlet through web.xml exclusivly (in case one would like to quickly switch back to the YaCyProxyServlet,
leaving the existing code of YaCyProxyServlet untouched available)
- they are incomplete and buggy
- it was not easy to explain
- it did not comply with a KISS strategy
- setting a performance of low priority actually caused crashing of a
peer
- there was nobody who would maintain that functionality
config settings frome the page also removed from yacy.init
augmentation.reflect
augmentation.addDoctype
augmentation.reparse
interaction.overlayinteraction.enabled
is VERY high. This applies also if the CPU load is high because of
in-cache crawling; in that case we want to experience a high-CPU load as
much as possible
The resource observer is now able to recognize free disk space AND
available space for YaCy. The amount of space which is assigned for YaCy
are defined in new settings in the configuration file.
Furthermore, there is now a cleanup process which deletes files in case
that an autodelete is activated. The autodelete is now BY DEFAULT ON if
the disk space is low, which means that YaCy starts to delete documents
when the disk is full!
if load > 1 (but < 2) but only if there is enough memory (now: 0.5 GB
RAM available). The memory amount of the postprocessing is the cause
that systems block because they run into a frequent-GC chain which
almost locks the peer. If running with enough memory, the postprocessing
is fast and not damaging to the system.
Because the required RAM of 0.5 GB is never available in default
setting, the postprocessing will not run if the peer is not reconfigured
to use more memory.
introduced, it was also used for search facets. The generic search
facets are now deduced from generic solr fields which makes jena as tool
for facet semantics superfluous.
- since specific heuristic Twitter & Blekko is not longer available or redundant with OpenSearchHeuristic,
adjusted ConfigHeuristic to use OpensearchHeuristic settings only.
For this the default OSD search target list is made available (copied) by default and the other configs are removed.
- the return of QueryGoal.getOriginalQueryString includes the queryModifier, which are held separately in a modifier object,
but in most (all) cases just the query term is expected, clarified and renamed it to QueryGoal.getQueryString which returns
just the search term (if needed a .getOrigianlQueryString could be implemented in Queryparameters, adding the modifiers)
- started to adjust internal html href references from absolute to relative (currently it is mixed).
For future development we should prefer relative href targets (less trouble with context aware servlets)
as BASIC were pwd is transmitted near clear text (B64enc).
This has some implication as RFC 2617 requires and recommends a password hash MD5(user:realm:pwd) for DIGEST.
!!! before activating DIGEST you have to reassign all passwords !!! to allow new calculation of the hash
- default authentication is still BASIC
- configuration at this time only manually in (DATA/settings) or defaults/web.xml (<auth-method>
- the realmname is in defaults/yacy.init adminRealm=YaCy-AdminUI
- fyi: the realmname is shown on login screen
- changing the realm name invalidates all passwords - but for security you are encouraged to do so (as localhostadmin)
- implemented to support both, old hashes for BASIC and new hashes for BASIC and DIGEST
- to differentiate old / new hash the in Jetty used hash-prefix "MD5:" is used for new pwd-hashes ( "MD5:hash" )
- all non-dht targets (previously separated into 'robinson' for dht-like
queries and 'node' for solr queries) are non 'extra' peers, which are
queries using solr
- these extra-peers are now selected using a ranking on last-seen,
peer-tag-matches, node-peer flags, peer age, and link count. The ranking
is done using a weight and a random factor.
- the number of extra peers is 50% of the dht peers
- the dht peers now exclude too young peers to prevent bad results
during strong growth of the network
- the number of dht peers (and therefore extra-peers) is reduced when
the memory of the peer is low and/or some documents still appear in the
indexing-queue. This shall prevent a peer from deadlocks when p2p
queries are made in a fast sequence on weak hardware.
- this allows additional features, like servlet configuration via web.xml and many more things.
- currently the standard servlets are still configured in the code (so the supplied defaults/web.xml is not realy needed, yet),
but could be expanded
- lookup for web.xml - 1. in /DATA/SETTINGS then in /defaults
as path for solr index dumps (instead of the SEGMENTS path). This will
make a maintenance of index backups easier. It will also provide a tool
to migrate from an freeworld index to a webportal index.
- user entry in UserDB with admin right can login to access protected pages
- dto. admin user, choosen username is stored in conf (adminAccountUserName=)
not-flushed Solr cache is now handled in this way:
- it is smaller by default
- an Solr-internal process is started to flush the cache periodically
(this does NOT clean the cache, just removes old objects)
- a Solr-external process (the standard YaCy cleanup-process) now has
direct access to the solr internal cache and flushes them completely.
The time frame for such a flush is defined by the cleanup-process
frequency, by default 10 minutes.
