As reported by @vikulin in issue #187, crawling websites using a raw
IPv6 address as host name in their URL failed when running on Microsoft
Windows platforms (FAT32 or NTFS filesystems) when YaCy crawler created
the crawl queue folder, as the ':' character which is part of an IPV6
address is forbidden on these filesystems.
after restart, put hosthash in queue's filename (which is used as primary
key for crawl queue. Hint: initial hosthash from url and recalculated hosthash
from just hostname:port are not the same.
fixes http://mantis.tokeek.de/view.php?id=668 (partially)
In rare cases hostname may not be a valid filesystem directory name,
which can't be created (e.g. containing '*' char). To prevent crawl queue
looping on this invalid entry by throwing a malformedurlexception.
If remote crawl option is not activated, skip init of remoteCrawlJob to save the resources of queue and ideling thread.
Deploy of the remoteCrawlJob deferred on activation of the option.
- 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.
use alternative delete to fight the sympthom (and fix deletion of host dirs on startup)
Root cause (which class holds a lock on .stack) not found.

local files can be crawled (intranet mode) url parsing fixed according to RFC 1738 (for unix and windows)
for win like file:///c:/tmp or file://localhost/c:/tmp
for linux like file:///tmp or file://localhost/tmp
Host is ignored and path must be absolute
- doublecheck cache now records the crawl depth as well
- doublecheck cache is available from the outside (made static)
- no more need to crawl hosts with lowest depth first, instead all hosts
which have only singleton entries are preferred to reduce the number of
files.
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.
- refactored all code which uses URIMetadataRow as standard for word
hash length and word hash ordering and moved that to the class 'Word',
becuase the class URIMetadataRow defined the old metadata data structure
and should be superfluous in the future
- removed unused methods from URIMetadataRow as preparation for further
removal of that class
