introduce a copy-field for the author field to be copied to a string
field. This field is then used to generate facets. Without this field,
the facet would consist only of the words of the author names, not of
the full author string.
INCOMING links to the corresponding web page. This information is taken
from the reverse link index (a 'little sister' of the RWI index).
- this field can be of use to enhance the ranking because a web page
with more incoming links can be more more important than others. But
this is not true for typical link pages like menues. Therefore the
number of outgoing links is needed.
- added a new solr attribute 'bf' to solr queries which is a boost
function extension. this field can contain a formula which comuptes the
boost according to given field values. After some experiments the
following forumla is now default:
div(add(1,references_i),pow(add(1,inboundlinkscount_i),1.6))^0.4
This takes the number of references and the inbound links. Further
experiments are needed to enhance that forumula.
This uses an enhanced version of the Nutch/Solr TextProfileSignatue.
As a result, a signature of the document is written to the solr search
index. Additionally for each time when a signature is written, it is
checked if the singature exists already in the index. If the signature
does not exist, the document is marked as unique. The unique attribute
can now be used to sort document lists and bring duplicates to the end
of a result list.
To enable this, a large portion of the search api to Solr had to be
changed. This affected mainly caching of 'exists' searches to enhance
the check for existing signatures and do this without actually doing a
solr query.
Because here the first time a long number is used as value in the Solr
store, also the value naming in the YaCySchema had to be adopted and
normalized. This caused that many files had to be changed.
need regular expressions as search attributes. They had now been removed
from the advanced search page while they are still created internally.
The filter is then expressed against solr as regular expression filter
query. If the expression points out a selection of an specific protocol,
host or filetype this is then translated into a facetted query.
added solr highlighting / YaCy snippets to YaCy search results
- facets are now much more complete
- facets are computed and searched much faster
- snippet computation is done by solr if solr knows the snippet
superfluous. The target is to make a solr document as the core of YaCy
documents which would cause that many conversions can be removed. On the
way to this target the Equivalence of URIMetadataRow and URIMetadataNode
had to be removed to expose the usage of the old URIMetadataRow data
structure.
This refactoring already removes unneccessary conversions and should
make memory usage during indexing lower.
which had been then mixed with remote RWIs. Now these Solr documents are
feeded into the result set as they appear during local and remote
search. That makes the search much faster.
URIMetadataNode which creates the opportunity to access Solr objects
directly and use their information richness
- lazy initialization of the URIMetadataNode object - should cause less
computation and memory usage during search.
- removed dead code
MultiProtocolURI during normalform computation because that should
always be done and also be done during initialization of the
MultiProtocolURI Object. The new normalform method takes only one
argument which should be 'true' unless you know exactly what you are
doing.
- reduced danger that a non-existing RWI database causes NPEs
- added Solr queries to did-you-mean: this makes it possible that our
did-you-mean algorithm works together with only Solr and without RWIs
- fixed type definition found by the verifier
- added multivalue-string fields for solr with extension 'sxt'
- added multivalue-integer fields for solr with extension 'val'
- renamed some solr attributes from txt to sxt
- changed solr query line to an explicit AND/OR structure
- added a country code second level domain list to Domains class; with
parser
- added a host string parser to get domain class name, country-code
second-level domain and subdomain out of it
- removed old coordinate attributes
- when doing a remote search, node peers are selected for solr queries
- the solr query is done concurrently to the standard YaCy rwi search
- the solr search result is feeded into the same data structure that
prepares the rwi search result
- the same remote seach that is done to several outside peers is done to
the local solr index
- the search process works now also without any 'old' RWI data using
solr
or will be superfluous or subject of complete redesign after the
migration to solr. Removing these things now will make the transition to
solr more simple.
