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
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 :)
- 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
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" )
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=)
